and the most pragmatic justices was made of justice rehnquist, o'connor, kennedy and breyer. this is roberts, alito, breyer and kennedy in the pragmatist group. it is unclear where justice sotomayor will be. this may be an area where the court is shifting to the right, in favor of law enforcement, she was a prosecutor in the manhattan district attorney's office and this kind of grounding may make her less of the philosophical group, we do not know and she does not know. but the departure of justice souter, or the ideological lines are set up, leaves the court open at that point. his departure, i think, on matters of business and other areas where this will make a difference is that in some areas of business, with these damages, in the important cases he is siding with business in a way that is not as predictable for the justice. -- justice sotomayor. with the nine -- 9 circuit having awarded two and a half million dollars, what will any of the justices -- it will be hard to get them to overturn this, david souter voted to say that this was too much money and say that this was too much money.
