WASHINGTON - Newly refashioned by President Bush, the Supreme Court this term delivered a score of decisions conservatives have long yearned for, upholding abortion restrictions, silencing insubordinate students and abolishing school-integration programs. But the biggest change under Chief Justice John Roberts might not involve who wins on the merits. Rather, it may be who gets through the courthouse door in the first place. In case after case, the court shifted toward what Chief Justice Roberts has previously referred to as "judicial self-restraint." As it addressed issues large and small, in civil disputes and criminal justice alike, the court's resurgent conservative bloc repeatedly found that the question didn't belong before a judge at all.

- Writing off left wing Gary Roberts -- as some local reports did Monday -- was apparently a mistake. Roberts skated in Pittsburgh on Tuesday after previous speculation he might miss the remainder of the season. Roberts' skating session was described by one team official as "good." Another team official said Roberts, out since Dec. 29 with a broken left leg, is also dealing with a high ankle sprain -- an injury from a few weeks back when he first resumed skating. The Penguins are optimistic Roberts will return in late March. - Captain Sidney Crosby joined Roberts' skate session. Crosby missed an 18th consecutive game against the Islanders in New York last night due to a high right ankle sprain. Crosby is not expected to return until next week at the earliest.
