I'm glad he's my teammate.

The Supreme Court has returned to work, and court watchers are again asking the perennial questions: Which justices are most partisan? Who are the real activists?We have tried to make progress on these questions by examining how the justices vote and letting their records speak for themselves. We explored the justices' voting patterns from 1989 through 2005, an unusually long period of continuity within the court.

(No reliable conclusions can be drawn about Chief Justice John G Roberts Jr and Justice Samuel A . Alito because they have so few votes. )Everyone looks at the high-profile constitutional cases, but to get a real sense of how justices approach their jobs, it's best to analyze the more routine, less-visible cases that are often more important to people's daily lives. For this reason, we examined all cases in which members of the court, using settled principles, evaluated the legality of important decisions by federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Food and Drug Administration. We used clear and simple tests to code the decisions of these agencies as either "liberal" or "conservative. " For example, we counted an environmental regulation as "liberal" if it was challenged by industry as too aggressive, or as "conservative" if it was challenged by an environmental group as too lax. We used equally simple tests to code the decisions of the justices phantom of opera mask Phantom of the Opera . If a member of the court voted to uphold conservative and liberal agency decisions at the same rate, we deemed him "neutral," in the sense that his voting patterns showed no political tilt phamton of the opera . If a justice showed such a tilt, we deemed him "partisan. " If a justice regularly voted in favor of agencies, we deemed him "restrained," because he proved willing to accept the decisions of another branch of government . If a justice was unusually willing to vote against agencies, we deemed him "activist," in the literal sense that he frequently used judicial power to strike down decisions of another branch. Note that the terms "restrained" and "activist" are purely descriptive, and so permit an objective test of judicial behavior . It is possible that a justice who is restrained, in our sense, is wrong, and that an activist justice is right. On the basis of the evidence, we are now prepared to award the Supremes. (Drum roll please Phantom of the Opera - thephantomoftheopera . )The Judicial Neutrality Award, for blind justice, goes to Justice Anthony Kennedy.
