Two plus two is not always a foursome, but to Jeffrey Toobin at the New Yorker, Justices John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy are four of a kind with Cliven Bundy and Donald Sterling — two old but unwise persons who said stupid things about persons of color that left most of the country outraged.

The sins of the last two are saying unpleasant things about some of their fellow Americans. The sins of the first two are in ruling against racial preferences at a law school in Michigan, which is supposed to equate to and/or enable such sins as saying blacks are less well-off being on welfare than living in slavery, or scolding one’s girlfriend who’s a mere 50 or so years one’s junior for being photographed next to black men.
