...rights organizations. It is demeaning and condescending to try to lump the diverse members of an entire community into one orthodoxy and deem only one view authentic. No one would suggest that Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer must reflect "Jewish views," or that Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy must represent "Irish opinions."

Accordingly, Thomas suggested that the U.S. government exists only to the extent the states permit it. Rehnquist, O'Connor and Scalia signed on. How much further will the conservatives go? Their rulings on race, the commerce clause and church-state separation are open invitations to more litigation--and more struggles for that fifth vote. As chief guidance officer of the liberal wing, William Brennan had a famous dictum: "Five...
