After reading them all, Scalia's dissent was the best one.
Thomas is being taken out of context for that one paragraph. Whether people agree or not, his point is clear over his entire dissent about liberty and dignity. Had he given no examples, and instead said: "The corollary of that principle is that human dignity cannot be taken away by the government. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits. The government cannot bestow dignity, and it cannot take it away.", no one would be talking about it.
Roberts is obviously at odds with himself. His dissent almost mirrors the arguments he made in favor of Obamacare. What a loon.
Any Republican candidate who clings to this as an issue to campaign will be unelectable in a General Election. In the case of Santorum, Jindal, and Huckabee they stand no chance anyway... Walker will hurt himself if he sticks with it.
