Straining to See a Strain at the Supreme Court
T
his piece by Linda Greenhouse, suggesting that the opinions in a 4th Amendment case decided yesterday reveal "strains" underneath the Court's "placid" surface, strikes me as exaggerated. Yes, the language in the footnotes is strong for Justice Souter. But does it reveal "strains" on the Court, or just strongly held views? Without other evidence, I'd assume the latter.

She has been writing about the Court for more than twenty years as Anthony Lewis' chosen successor in that job. If her radar says something has cracked, I'm willing to guess she's right.
