The Supreme Court has been busy recently, ruling over multiple issues that have far-reaching consequences. Many of the rulings were 5-4 decisions and the newer members of the Court can already be identified as imposing their will.
Among the controversial decisions:
1) The inability to use the death penalty against child rapists (Regardless of the number of offenses, the age of the child, how egregious the act is, etc...)
2) Limiting the payments from businesses that have hurt the environment (Implying that the environment has no value)
3) Everybody can own guns (but maybe there can be restrictions... for now we'll have less)
Here's a good summary of things that happen even when a good decision comes out of the Supreme Court.
