...problem, says Justice John Paul Stevens, joined by Justices David Souter and Ruth Bader Ginsburg in dissent, is that the Roberts opinion not only provides support for such a restriction, it invents "out of whole cloth a special First Amendment rule permitting the censorship of any student speech that mentions drugs." Stevens is fine with a rule that prohibits students from promoting illegal drugs. But no matter what the principal argued in this case, the bong-hits banner conveyed "nonsense," speech "that was never meant to persuade anyone to do anything...
...what could the pro-choice crowd possibly find pleasing here? Well, for what it's worth, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a very compelling dissent, joined by three of her liberal colleagues, Stephen Breyer, John Paul Stevens and David Souter. It's as fiery as anything turned out by conservative rabble-rouser Antonin Scalia, probably the court's best writer. She dismisses the majority's logic as "bewildering," the product of old men out of touch: "This way of thinking reflects ancient notions about women's place in the family and under the Constitution - ideas that have long since been...
...what? Well, according to the study, the law probably looks a lot different because of the shifts over the years. Prayer at public school graduations, for example, is unconstitutional largely because George H.W. Bush appointee David Souter slid left before the case was decided by a 5-4 vote in 1992. The shifts could also mean we can tone down the bitter battles over court nominees. Justice Rehnquist's 1986 nomination as Chief Justice might have irked Democrats less had they foreseen what the study calculates as his tilt toward moderation by 2003, a year in which he voted...
...think that the egg probably carried an X and one sperm an X, and one sperm a Y. It's possible that it is far more complicated than that. But that's the simplified explanation," says Souter. The twins have different proportions of male cells (XY) and female cells (XX), and are chimeric, meaning they have tissue with a diverse genetic make-up. Twin A, identified as a hermaphrodite, has 5% XY and 95% XX after genetic testing of the skin. Comparatively, Twin B, the male...
...Souter says that biologist Michael Golubovsky has been postulating on this type of twin for some time, calling them sesquizygotic, and has laid out some potential mechanisms. "It's fascinating that he has described these twins and also had suggested that it may be associated with a disorder of sex development...
