U.S. Supreme Court Rulings

Linda Greenhouse, who was awarded a Golden Pen Award from the Legal Writing Institute in 2003, writes today in the New York Times about a surprising development at the U.S. Supreme Court.  She notes that the U.S. Supreme Court justices do not appear to be as divided as it was last year.  Are the justices being more narrow in their decisions?  Are they responding to Congressional criticism and hearings on their decisions from last term?  Are they acting differently in an election year?  It's an interesting article, and worth a read.
