All Intensive Purposes

Writing about the Supreme Court's decision this morning in the Death-With-Dignity case out of Oregon, and specifically about the dissents from Justices Scalia, Roberts and Thomas, E.J. Graff writes:

The administration's divebombing of Oregon's assisted suicide law, and the Scalia-Thomas (and-now-Roberts) determination to impose a conservative Catholic theology on all, exposes the cracks between the religious wing and the libertarian wing of the conservative movement. Just another reminder that that coalition can be split.

Great news! But where are both of those libertarian voters going to go?

The libertarians are noisy on the web, and in some elitist circles. But there don't seem to be any of them voting, and the ones I ever talk to are willing to stick with the Republican Party through thick and thin, and whatever trampling on states' rights may ensue, out of some inchoate fear that surely the Democrats would be even worse.
