David Bernstein on the recent Supreme Court legislation:
SODOMY DECISION: We spent a lot of time in my Con Law II class last semester talking about how the Supreme Court is affected by the attitudes of the times the Justices live in. By the time we got to the Bowers (the earlier sodomy case), my students had decided that this was a persuasive way of analysing the Courts' decisions, and were unanimously convinced, or so it seemed to me, that Bowers would be overruled this term. They were right.Posted by Greg Ransom
