Don’t forget the fact that we have Alito because O’Connor had enough awareness to retire at a time when she knew she would be replaced by a conservative justice.

"...it would be nice to have them somewhat consolidated."

I guess there was a paper and history shortage that required brevity and consolidation.

But before vigorously dissenting (or, come to think of it, at any other time) I have never urged the majority of my colleagues to alter their honest view of the case because of the potential ‘damage to the Court.’

I read that as a knock on Kennedy's move.
