This is why I tell people that the leaning of a particular justice even within the same session will not necessarily tell you how that justice will see the matter at hand. Look at Gonzales v. Raich, where Rehnquist and Thomas -- two of the three most conservative leaning justices at the time -- voted in favor of allowing California's legalization of medical marijuana laws to trump federal law, while Kennedy and Scalia voted to let federal law win out. You can make a general guess, but until the opinion is published, you just don't know.
Huh? The conservatives were upholding states rights (a favorite conservative stance), where-as the liberals were up holding expansive federal government, as they often do. No surprises here.
Finger math can get you to 100 pretty easily with no strange hand positions. We learned it in 3rd grade. The basic principle is that your left hand is the 10s and your right hand is the 1s. You count to 4 using your fingers like you normally would (unless you're one of those sickos who counts starting with your thumb), 5 is the thumb only, and 6-9 is the thumb plus fingers.
I learned this in elementary school too. It is called chinsenbop.
As long as we're going to reinvent the wheel again, we might as well try making it round this time. - Mike Dennison
