Justice Kennedy wrote for the court, striking down the law, with which Justices Breyer, Souter, Ginsburg, and Steven concurred. Justice Thomas wrote a seperate concurring opinion. Justice O'Connor concurred in part, and dissented in part, voting with the minority. Justices Rehnquist and Scalia dissented.

Kennedy, Breyer, Souter, Ginsburg, Stevens, and Thomas in the majority. O'Connor, Rehnquist, and Scalia in the minority.

Actually, only Rehnquist voted to uphold the whole law. The majority struck down two provisions (one banning using adults to play children, and the other banning "virtual" images of children), and O'Connor and Scalia voted to strike down the first of those but not the second.
