Correction on my account of PLIVA: Kennedy's still on board with the anti-preemption canon
Write in haste, repent in leisure: Justice Kennedy did not join Part III(B)(2) of the majority opinion, which is the part endorsing Caleb Nelson's theory of preemption. So we still have five votes for an anti-preemption canon and four squarely in favor of abolishing it. Sloppy of me to miss the fine print: Apologies to all.
And phew!

Supreme Court opinions should come with an Excel chart noting how many votes are in favor of each specific proposition.

Not a strike against you -- just against the results of increasingly fractured SCOTUS opinions.
