The less extreme view would suggest that the Court has seriously eroded what little respect for the law still existed prior to the Gang of Five taking it upon themselves to rewrite the Constitution in their own biased image.

Was the majority in Kelo basically the same Justices who voted in Lawrence to overturn recent precedent and affirmatively sanction sodomy as the moral equivalent of normality?

Lawrence & Garner v. State of Texas

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that sodomy laws are unconstitutional on June 26, 2003.

The majority opinion is based on privacy rights and is written by Kennedy, joined by Breyer, Souter, Ginsburg, and Stephens. O'Connor concurred on equal protection grounds.
