Scalia wrote the per curiam opinion.

Scalia, Thomas, Ginsburg, Kagan, and Sotomayor for; Alito, Roberts, Kennedy, and Breyer against.

Not surprised that Roberts would support such action, but Alito? That caught me offguard.

That’s a really odd combination of justices on both sides.

Amazing grouping of justices.

Scalia and Thomas because they respect the original intent.
Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor because they support the pot-heads.

Alito and Roberts supported the search because it would have supported “law and order.”
Kennedy because Roberts went that way.
Breyer’s reasoning? Who can tell?

Interesting line-up. The conventional wisdom about "liberal" and "conservative" justices doesn't always apply. Scalia often votes with the defendant's side in criminal cases (Thomas much less often), and Breyer very often votes for the prosecution in criminal cases. Alito is almost always pro-prosecution.

Scalia should have been made Chief Justice. Roberts is a faggot and not a constitutionalist.
