In the opinion of much of the public the SCOTUS under the previous chief
justice was thought to be too liberal, for instance in the KELO
decision. In fact I read a comment by Justice Stevens in which he said
after seeing the result of that decision on the people and families
involved he thought they might have been wrong in that decision. The
public overwhelmingly felt that that decision was totally wrong in
almost every detail and took steps to see to it that their states would
not do the same thing to the public there. Partial birth abortion is
another decision where the public is very much against the SCOTUS
decision. Neither of those decisions are brought up at all by this
reporter - but what can you expect from the NYT.
