>>Something weird is going on with the SC. They closed their session with five (5) unanimous decisions. Obama must be talking to Roberts, and he in turn with Scalia, Alito and Thomas. I am not sure what was said, but given the fact that Obama will likely have at least 2 appointments, he has the power to make like easier or harder for Roberts in the future.<<

I am quite certain that neither Obama nor anyone representing him is putting pressure on the Supreme Court for any reason. As a Constitutional scholar, Obama would know that for one branch of the Federal government to bully another in that way would be completely wrong.
