I wonder if he is billing the U.S. taxpayers for his time spent writing this article . . . ?"

And:
"What undermines the authors argument, is that in this case we know the intent of the legislators, who for the most part are alive and available. This intent is not an unknown or an issue for historical speculation."

The intent of the legislation is quite clear; the three Justices who dissented are just shouting Moops.
Well, USA Today is no Slate, that's true.

It was actually comments posted on the LATimes- or whatever the direct link you posted was from. (See? I really do read links people post. With the possible exception of TownHall and RedState because you gotta draw a line somewhere).
