October Term 2006 was an unusual one for the Supreme Court. On seven occasions, more than any other term on record, a justice issued an oral dissent from the bench.New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse proclaimed that the term would also “be remembered as the time when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg found her voice, and used it.” The events of that year would indeed foreshadow Justice Ginsburg’s role as a forceful and passionate dissenter, an objecting voice within a Court that has been viewed as activist and divided.
