Supreme Court decisions

In news coverage today, the LAT seems sceptical of yesterday's Court decisions, pointing out that each decision was by a 5 to 4 margin with the "conservatives" in the majority. And the LAT highlights dissenting opinions such as those by liberal justices Souter and Stevens. When the Court's decisions were favorable to liberal causes, LAT coverage was generally supportive and dissents were ridiculed as coming from the conservative minority. Yet, the LAT agrees with one of yesterday's opinions in an editorial today. That's about as much balance as can be expected from the LAT.
