Scalia, Thomas, Souter, Ginzburg and Breyer. (NY Times, registration required.)
Well, that has to be one of the weirdest majorities on a case in recent years. Especially on a search-and-seizure case; Scalia and Thomas seldom rule in favor of the accused against the police. Stevens seldom rules against the accused in this type of case. What a very odd coalition. (And O'Connor on the losing end, for once, in a 5-4 decision; very odd indeed.)
