You conveniently left out the fact that Clancy Thomas wrote a concurring opinion and that Sandy Day O'Connor concurred on part of the opinion. Hence, I remain correct that this opinion came down from a Republican-dominated Supreme Court. In the future, report the whole story, not just the part that is convenient to your "liberal bashing." From a news story on the ruling: "The First Amendment requires a more precise restriction," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy for a 6-3 majority that agreed to strike down both of the challenged provisions as overbroad. Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer joined Kennedy's opinion. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion. "Justice Sandra Day O'Connor agreed that the government could not outlaw making young-looking adults appear as children, giving that part of the opinion a 7-2 majority. But she sided with dissenters Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Antonin Scalia in support of upholding the provision banning computer-generated images."
