What hath the Chief wrought with all of these unanimous opinions? #SCOTUS @jadler1969 @rickhasen

@rickhasen@jadler1969 This could have easily been a 5-4 in judgment. -
@JoshMBlackman@rickhasen Of course it could have had the position taken by the Admin not been so unprecedented and extreme. -
@jadler1969@JoshMBlackman@rickhasen Doesn't it seem like he puts these together to dampen animosity likely to be rife come Monday? -
@BlanksSlate@jadler1969@rickhasen It may seem like that. Last term the opinions were staggered quite well#SCOTUS

@rickhasen@JoshMBlackman And I think you overemphasize import of a tiny set of issues that rarely account for much of docket. -
.
@jadler1969 they account for small part of docket but among the most important work of court: abortion, gay rights, aff act. camp finance -
@rickhasen that's a matter of opinion. Not sure all are as consequential to daily life of Americans as we like to think -
.
@jadler1969 I dunno Jonathan: the right to marry, equal opportunity, sexual freedom, right to choose pretty important to many Americans. -
.
@jadler1969 not to mention consumer class actions , labor union rights, affirmative action, right to protest: we care where#SCOTUS divides -
@rickhasen I didn't claim otherwise, and it makes % of unanimous and non5-4 judgments even more significant -
.
@jadler1969 you said: " Not sure all are as consequential to daily life of Americans as we like to think" I disagree

@rickhasen@JoshMBlackman that divided court can produce unanimous judgments is significant -
.
@jadler1969@JoshMBlackman Pressure for unanimity when they can given how bitterly they divide on the big stuff. -
Posner has said that.
