Calm Before the Storm at Supreme Court
There is a calm-before-the-storm quality to the two-week cycle of Supreme Court oral arguments and decisions that begins Feb. 22. The most tumultuous cases of the term -- prayer at Texas football games, gays in the Boy Scouts, partial-birth abortion, the Massachusetts law against doing business with Burma -- will be argued in March or April.
