well that makes it significant; there is more to the Court than just
narrow legal results. ANything that get that much publicity is
significant, even if it is not legally a change.

Why Kelo? I know it produced a storm of protest, but the majority was

I would pick Raich, Kelo, McConnell v. FEC (assuming it counts for
2003), The Guantanamo cases as a group (I'm not sure it's worth trying
to separate them out), and Roper v. Simmons.

Excluding Lawrence & Grutter as from the 2002 term, my picks for
important cases would be:
Ashcroft v ACLU
Hamdi
Tennessee v. Lane
Locke v. Davey
Kelo
Castle Rock
Roper v. Simons
Gonzalez v. Oregon
and when decided, I'd probably put Rumsfeld v. FAIR on the list.

Subject: most important recent decisions
I am trying to get a sense of what the most important recent US Sup. Ct.
decisions are for the past 4 terms 02-03
03-04
04-05
and as they come in
05-06
I am trying to identify the 8-10 (more or less) most important decisions
of each term. Off list responses would be find, but it might make an
interesting discussion for a day or two if it is done on list.
I realize this is a totally unscientific survey, but I think it will be
useful as a way of seeing how we (law profs) see the court's
decisions. Obviously most important can be decisions we don't like.
Thanks in advance.
