Breyer, Roberts, Thomas, Kagan, Alito, and Sotomayor on one side; Scalia, Kennedy, and Ginsburg on the other.<p>Not a clean "right/left" split (a line that people probably make too much of at that court anyway).<p>If you had to draw some line, you might notice that the dissenters, Ginsburg (80), Scalia (77), and Kennedy (76), are the oldest on the bench.<p><a href="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-697_d1o2.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-697_d1o2.pdf</a><p>I was surprised how much play the "parade of horribles" received in the decision. Usually the Supreme Court focuses more on defending their interpretation, while writing less directly about public policy considerations.
