For a long time, the left wing of the punditocracy has excoriated conservatives for their use of the slippery slope argument form. So quite apart from any other consideration, I have enjoyed the Supreme Court’s decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. because apparently it opened the eyes of left-leaning commentators to see something in the slippery slope argument form after all.
