Supreme Court Sympathetic to deaf student in ADA case

[MarkD]

One of the things I am never going to deny about the current crop of Supreme Court Justices is that they are all judicial mediocrities. To me that means that they will often, but not always, base their legal decisions on their own personal values. But this is not one of those occasions. Clearly, all of the Justices did their job correctly -- they interpreted the law objectively. The fact that they did so surprises some users here does not surprise me. Too many people adhere to the cynical belief that Supreme Court Justices always base all of their legal decisions is far off the mark.
"It was never altogether realistic to conclude that behind all judicial dialectic there was personal preference and personal power and nothing else." -- Alexander Bickel, "The Least Dangerous Branch," page 80, (1962).
