In reviewing today's Supreme Court decisions on Obamacare and disparate impact, I'm feeling pretty betrayed by Roberts and Kennedy. Why is it that so many purportedly conservative justices slide so far to the left once they're on the court?
In any case, Black Thursday prompts me to observe that the opposite of schadenfreude is gluckschmerz - i.e., experiencing pain from observing someone else's pleasure - which is precisely what I'm feeling about liberals and the SCOTUS.
