JW of course thinks this is some long standing principle, which is in line with his usual contributions.

SCOTUS doesn't bother with long standing principles with very rare exceptions. The Constitution is not clear on this point, hence the 7-2 vote with 2 reasoned dissents.

Constitutional or not it doesn't sit right with me. It is double jeopardy the courts just found a legal loophole.

I think the decision and the logic used is very interesting.

The conservative justices vote with the liberal justices 70% of the time, and 90% with the other cons, and vice versa.

This is an example of where the Left and the Right positions are not clear cut.

They were doing what lawyers do. Playing language games and splitting hairs. I'm thinking the framers would have disagreed and if they had known shored up the wording.

I think itâ€s fun that RBG took a conservative view while Alito and Thomas took a liberal view. Classic, not political....
