AP has an interesting article that includes many quotes from Justice Breyer on the functioning of the new court under John Roberts. He says there's more debate behind the scenes now, which is not a surprise. Insiders had long said that Rehnquist allowed very little debate during the justice's conferences before assigning the opinions to be written. Scalia had long complained about that and lobbied for more open debate among the justices.
