Headline-grabbing Supreme Court opinions came fast and furious in June: Gitmo Detainees Get Habeas! No Death Penalty for Child Rapists! Exxon Valdez Punis Slashed! An Individual Right to Bear Arms! All produced sharp splits, with conservatives and liberals winning two apiece. But the justices leave for the summer in a better frame of mind than last term, when the Court seemed ready to break out in fistfights. Like a family that hits a rough patch, did the justices decide this term not to sweat the small stuff?

The headline Supreme Court decisions came fast and sometimes furious in June: Gitmo Detainees Get Habeas! No Death Penalty for Child Rapists! Exxon Valdez Punis Slashed! And on its final day in session, June 26, the biggest headline yet: An Individual Right to Bear Arms!
All four produced sharp splits (three were 5-4, and Exxon was 5-3 because of Justice Samuel Alito Jr.’s recusal.) Conservatives and liberals won two apiece.
