Yup. 5 to 4 vote, wasn't it?


Yep. The 4 "liberal" judges (Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer)
voted against the homeowners and in favor of the big business property
takeover. The 4 "conservative" judges (O'Connor, Rehnquist, Scalia and
Thomas) stood up for the (literal reading of the constitution) and the
common folk.

For some reason the usually conservative Kennedy went with the liberals.

Which goes to prove that the nether the "liberals" nor the
"conservatives" on the court can be predicted.
