KENNEDY...........O'CONNOR.........REHNQUIST


SCALIA..............THOMAS







It's expertly formatted; and it all lines up perfectly, on my computer. Here's a clip from the article below, highlighting some of the "problems" the Five caused w/ their judicial-coup-de-etat:

He said the decision went completely counter to the justices' own often-expressed judicial and constitutional philosophies. Sandalow cited three areas where the five justices deviated from their own conservative judicial philosophy.

"First, their previous decisions have emphasized their respect for state judiciaries," said Sandalow. "Second, has been their reluctance to expand the interpretation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. And third, has been their belief that they have no warrant to cure every social ill.

"All three strands of the conservative philosophy they previously expressed are inconsistent with their decision. One can only conclude that they voted as they did because they wanted Bush to be president. And that's very disturbing.
I'll second that... "Very disturbing." And poor old Sandra Day O'Connor, we hear she can't even get to the front door without some "help." Wild Turkey, Herb.
