Editorial argues that despite warnings and claims by left-wing advocacy groups that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito were far outside the American legal mainstream, the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday issued five unanimous decisions on several topics. Could it be that the Bush-nominated justices, and even Justice Thomas, arent just pawns of the Bush administration or of corporate America but independent legal minds who are making a good-faith effort to apply the law to the issues before them? the editorial questioned. The editorial argues that it is reassuring to know that, while Congress may be divided along partisan lines, all Supreme Court justices see their duties to the law in similar ways.
