My colleague Stephen Bainbridge suggests "an interesting parlor game for lawyers":
How would the world be different if such and such case had been decided the other way? Create your own counterfactual in the comment section.

For instance, if a hypothetical statutory decision -- contrary to the one that was actually rendered -- would have been promptly overturned by Congress, with little lasting political effect, then the world would not be materially different in that hypothetical.
