“If so, at least it isn’t the one where all the cases are on your side…”

That’s reality (well, just about all of the cases are on my side) – but remember, you’re in Fantasyland.

If so, at least it isn’t the one where all the cases are on your side and Justice Souter is Justice Brennan’s doppleganger.

My “side” is that your position is false. It doesn’t take much to show that.

all the cases are on my side

FWIW, Justice Souter wrote a very good dissent to a very bad DP reversal in Stringer v. Black, 508 U.S. 222 (1992). Haven’t seen anything comparable from him in some time, though.
