    I've never understood "narrow ruling" to mean that, but maybe I'm just clueless on its past usage?

    Does anyone know of any past cases that have used "narrow ruling" to mean that?
    I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

      Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        In every case I can think of, it referred to a 5-4 decision.

                Well I should have said what you guys have been arguing. I'm more of an absolutist on this.

                  I'm glad the court ruled this way. It was a wise decision.

                      Kennedy really did not like Commission's view on this:

                      something insubstantial and even insincere. .

                          Yeah, I think he recognized Colorado's hostility to the baker's religious beliefs, and that's what he focused on.

                            It's obviously early days, but a small twitch of hope occurred inside me. I hope this means the Kleins will finally have justice at long, long last.

                              The hope that I see is that this is a recognition that "Gay Rights" don't get a green light to steamroll "Religious Liberty", and I don't think we'd be having this discussion under Hillary Clinton as POTUS.

                                Well, no. She would have appointed another Ginsberg as SCJ.
