Script to Scrape Complete Database of U.S. Supreme Court Decisions

I was looking for the corpus of U.S. Supreme Court decisions to do some data analysis, but I wasn't able to find one, so I made this: a python scraper that downloads the entire set of U.S. Supreme Court decisions (33,620 files) from public domain sources.

Next steps: derive more metadata, cross-reference to the Washington University Law database, and then begin some data analysis.
