1) You're citing a dissenting opinion.
2) The dissenting opinion wasn't from Scalia
THOMAS, J., dissenting
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Scalia did not write anything in the Thomas dissent.Again...Scalia wrote the opinion in Heller....then went on to state why the court should hear Friedman, and while he did that, he expanded his points on Heller........that means more than just a dissent in that case......So Thomas joined in the dissenting opinion......again...he wrote the majority opinion in Heller......
JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE SCALIA joins, dissenting from the denial of certiorari.
This is like a congressman writing a bill, and another congressman becomes a co-sponsor. Not a co-writer.
Then they still clarified Heller, didn't they......they were both in the majority on Heller, so what they say about Heller in other opinions has weight and meaning......
