I'm oddly comforted by unanimous Supreme Court decisions.

Any. It doesn't matter.

When all of the SCotUS can agree, I'm willing to say "that's the way the law is" and not try to second guess them.

In this case, it was a money laundering conspiracy case, but that doesn't matter, really.

I'm a cynic...

The first thing that occurs to me is that one reason for a unanimous decision COULD be that it is politically/personally expedient for each of the justices that the decision be rapid and unanimous.

Yeah... I know.

It isn't that I assume the worst- merely that I remain painfully aware of the possibility...

Worked for Larry Flynt. (See Hustler vs. Falwell)
