It would seem that the supreme court is starting to lean a bit more conservative.

Faith-Based Initiative Challenge
The Court’s ruling in Hein denied standing to a tax payer who challenged expenditures of taxpayer funds for religious organizations. The Court said that taxpayers do not have grounds to challenge Executive Branch expenditures. Chief Justice Roberts, along with Justices Scalia and Alito, in a concurring opinion, noted that if taxpayers could challenge government expenditures just because they didn’t like them, the federal courts would run the risk of becoming “general complaint bureaus.”
On the bong hits for Jesus case
Justice Roberts, again writing for the Court’s majority, said: “We hold that schools may take steps to safeguard those entrusted to their care from speech that can be reasonably regarded as encouraging illegal drug use.”
A common sense ruling for a change. The ruling pointed out specifically that the speech promoted drug use. It didn't condemn the right of free speech involving ideas in general.
