Follow POL on Twitter When future advocates continue to push the myth of the right-wing pro-business Supreme Court, they'll count Ransom v. FIA Card Services, a bankruptcy statutory interpretation case where the Court sided with a bank against a debtor, in the right-wing pro-business column. But note that yesterday's 8-1 majority opinion was written by Justice Kagan (her first judicial opinion of any sort), and the dissenter was Justice Scalia. These decisions are not made on ideological grounds. More: BLT; Kerr @ Volokh; Blackman.
