She did write an opinion as separate from the decision. It is apparent to me that this is another loss of a civil liberties. Is it worth it to gain evidence and lose another amendment right ? 9/11 has certainly brought about more changes in our approach to civil rights than I would have ever thought possible.

Justice Kennedy was in the majority. Hardly a right winger. Point taken. Neither Kennedy nor O'Connor vote(d) consistently with the right. But the four other votes were from the consistent right wingers, even by these restrictive standards as to what constitutes a "right" winger. It's a signature Scalia decision. An 'originalist" when it suits him, a conservative statist in all ways, and one who lets his political preferences determine his Supreme Court decisions (Gore v Bush)
