The increased proportion of unanimous Supreme Court decisions -- - TopicsExpress



          

The increased proportion of unanimous Supreme Court decisions -- the highest proportion over the last year since 1940 -- may owe something to Roberts striving for unanimity and to justices willingness to decide cases on narrow grounds on which all nine can agree. But it also owes something to what Kagan might describe as the administrations chutzpah, a word she has used in decisions. The cases cited here involve different principles, statutes and constitutional provisions. But in each, we see an administration inclined to lawlessness, to statism if not authoritarianism, a government that is bossy and eager to push people around. Americans have evidently noticed. In a Rasmussen poll, a startling 44 percent of voters agree that Obama has been less faithful to the Constitution than most presidents. Theres reason to conclude that all nine Supreme Court justices agree.
