The Supreme Court issued opinions in four cases yesterday, though none was the much-anticipated health care ruling.
At the convention of the American Constitution Society on Friday, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke of the current "flood season" at the Court, and attempted to challenge her reputation as "least funny" Justice (from a study measuring the laughter provoked by each Justice during oral argument).
Justice Ginsburg also said, "It is likely that the sharp disagreement rate will go up next week or the week after," and spoke of the value of dissents in causing systemic change, as with the Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Act.
Complete remarks are here.
