      @BennyNgalim @OrinKerr We also see that lessons get learned. In Dunn v Ray, a dishonest opinion from Gorsuch sent a man to death for culture war points and showed that religious liberty applied only to the religions of the justices. By Murphy v Collier, backlash had changed an honorable man's mind.
