You might remember a recent entry in this forum in which Robert Bork described the current U.S. Supreme Court as very liberal.

Bork and Newsweek?s Dahlia Lithwick are apparently watching different movies. Lithwick offers this description of the court?s last session in her latest column:

On balance, the term continued a clear trend in which big business always prevails, environmentalists are always buried, female and elderly workers go unprotected, death-row inmates get the needle, and criminal defendants are shown the door.

I guess we can expect a thoughtful, moderate, centrist take from Lithwick as she reports on the new court?s proceedings this fall.
