I agree that this particular case was procedure and not substance, but Daniel and others contention that all appelate decisions flow from the bedrock of procedure is naive.

There is enough wiggle room in procedural law and the constitution for judges to push their personal agendas. As it should be, to allow for the intent, as well as the letter of the law. Pleading otherwise is a cop-out.

My contention was that the appellate decisions are SUPPOSED to be about procedure; that no one can come to decisions without some 'baggage' is a given.

And, as I recall, the decisions even over slavery were very close. Possibly along strict lines of conviction.
