Since when is this court conservative? Why do they keep saying that? The SCOTUS decision and their kowtowing to European and other like laws, attitudes and what not is the depth of evil.
And now the five of nine are going to Europe to show and tell. Where's the sixth - I thought the Lawrence decision was 6/3.
The Warren Court looked at British Common Law in it's criminal procedure and right to council cases. Miranda was influenced by British practices.
We can be thankful that the gay case was not decided on equal protection grounds (for which there is a plausable arguement) but on the much less established right to privacy -- whatever that is.
In short, my feeling is that the Court is moving generally in the right direction but needs a couple more justices not over influenced by social arguments.
Just my two bits.
