It is patently clear now (if it weren’t all the way back to the dueling historical narratives in Heller) that this is an exercise in bad history and cherry-picking. Why pretend otherwise? Those now ascendant didn’t indulge the old majorities by using their frames when dissenting and instead used them to build a cadre of fellow travelers.

When Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett rebuked liberal Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for her dissenting opinion in Trump v. Casa, she wasn’t merely speaking to Jackson.

It was bad enough for Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson when the court's conservatives were shredding her legal chops to pieces in published opinions. Now, even one of her fellow SCOTUS lefties is following suit.
