Writer Linda Greenhouse of The New York Times canvasses the right turn of the U.S. Supreme Court in Even in Agreement, Scalia Puts Roberts to Lash. The article is well worth reading for its discussion of the internal wrangling among the Court's right-leaning judges.
It’s not every day that one Supreme Court justice, even one as rhetorically unrestrained as Justice Antonin Scalia, characterizes another justice, let alone the chief justice of the United States, as a wimp and a hypocrite.
...But what was notable about his attacks on Chief Justice Roberts this week was that the two were on the same side. They were in dispute not over outcomes, but over how far and how fast to move the law. As Prof. Jack M. Balkin of Yale Law School wrote on his blog, Balkinization, “It is the difference between bomb throwing and dismantling.”
