That is all.

No, he's not. His voting record indicates that he's center-right. He just refuses to allow the Supreme Court to be used as a political tool by either party, and his voting record reflects that position.

Then he's a liberal.  The perception of the court is meaningless to the law.  He swears an oath to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states, not the opinion of the Harvard Faculty Lounge.  to the case in question, if we want to have a broader constitutional discussion about licensure, the right to pursue commerce and state over-reach then have at it.  I don't have a problem sitting at that table.  But under the current ittiration of jurisprudence to assert that a state doesn't have the right to sanction the credentials required to perform a medical procedure is insane.  The only thing more insane would be to based that idea on the idea that one individual has the right to arbitrarily kill another individual because Oprah Said So.
