supreme court learning to dance

despite a divisive session last year, this year's session seems to indicate that the justices are learning to dance together. you'll find a list of their decisions after the jump.

do we agree with all of those decisions? hell no - we would like to have seen them rule in favor of capital punishment for child rape (by either skinning alive or burning, for preference), and letting bankers and lawyers off the hook from being legally responsible for defrauding their clients is unconscionable. but there have been an almostequal number of decisions we wholeheartedly agree with, including allowing guantanamo prisoners to legally challenge their confinement.
