SCOTUS decisions predicted to lean Left this term

Article on Bloomberg.com predicts Liberal shift to major cases coming before the Supreme Court this term.

"The image of the court could be very different in the run-up to the 2008 election,'' said Thomas Goldstein, a Supreme Court advocate at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in Washington. "This term has a large number of high-profile cases in which Kennedy is going to be much more sympathetic to the left. And because he's the decisive vote, the term as a whole is likely to come across as much more liberal than last term.''
