It would have been nice if the article had said.
In this 5 to 4 vote, are there any surprises on who voted which way????
I would guess the five were : A. Kennedy, Scalia, Alito, Roberts, and Thomas.
I would guess the four who thought these guys did have the right to sue gov’t officials were: Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens, and Souter.
This could be a solid precedent with talk of suing Bush administration officials over alleged torture. This sets a high bar for lawsuits over officials performing their official duties.
