There was a time when those selected to sit upon the US Supreme Court would vote 9-0 to affirm the document upon which their position was formed as one of three equal parts of the US government.

You’d think the time pressure of being several G-8 nations’ lead representative trying to craft a last-minute, face saving Middle East peace deal for George W.
