SCOTUS rendered two opinions this week that I think are quite interesting. They are interesting not because of their content, but because they were both unanimous decisions. One decision requires law enforcement to get a warrant before utilizing GPS to track a suspect. The other decision affirmed the primacy of federal law over state law.

Now, the subjects of those two rulings are hot buttons with conservatives. But, having hugely conservative justices like Scalia, Roberts, and Alito sign onto them is almost startling.
