I will also fall on my sword in that I thought this was a conservative pipe-dream that the Justices, no matter who or how appointed, would ever endorse/enact/effect.
That said, no one is talking about how this leaked draft was entitled "First
Draft" and dated February 22nd, with no indication of whom, if anyone, signed off on it. It seems as if Alito had five votes at conference and was assigned the majority, and this might have been his first draft. If so, I suspect he may have pushed his then-majority too far. I can only hope.
