“[ Din ] left things as Mandel had left them-and the opinion in Mandel spoke for a majority of the Court, sparing us the need to determine how to identify the controlling view in Din given that the concurring opinion is not a logical subset of the lead opinion (or the reverse). Mandel tells us not to go behind a facially legitimate and bona fide explanation.”
