Conservatives thought this Supreme Court term would be different. :laugh:

Still reeling from losses last year in major cases on health care and same* sex marriage, they welcomed a new docket in October studded with cases that seemed poised to move the law to the right.

But then came two unexpected turns of events. Justice Antonin Scalia, the longest *serving member of the court’s five* justice conservative wing, died.

And

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy veered left in two of the term’s biggest cases, joining the court’s liberals in significant decisions favoring affirmative action and abortion rights.

Also, please, could you summarize the article, as I can't open it without demand I subscribe to that Old Grey Lady, the NYT.
