SCOTUS Term Most Left-Leaning Since Warren Era

NYT reports that SCOTUS has voted in favor of liberals 54% this term, making it the most left-leaning court since the Warren era. This does not include the two opinions released this morning - both in favor of liberals.

With five case opinions yet to be released either tomorrow or Monday, I'm guessing most of those will lean left as well.

Re: SCOTUS Term Most Left-Leaning Since Warren Era

Justice Scalia in his scathing dissent:

Quote:
Perhaps the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will attain the enduring status of the Social Security Act or the Taft-Hartley Act; perhaps not. But this Court’s two decisions on the Act will surely be remembered through the years. The somersaults of statutory interpretation they have performed (“penalty” means tax, “further [Medicaid] payments to the State” means only incremental Medicaid payments to the State, “established by the State” means not established by the State) will be cited by litigants endlessly, to the confusion of honest jurisprudence. And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites. I dissent.
"We should just start calling this law SCOTUScare."

Exactly!
