There is nothing particularly revealing about the three who dissented. This court is nowhere near as easy to predict as some people think.
I was at first suprised that Scalia didn't join the dissent, but shouldn't have been. Thomas - whom I think is dead fucking wrong on 80% of his decisions - would disagree with this ruling on principle. I can respect him even if I don't agree with him.
Scalia wouldn't know a priniciple if it fell from the sky and hit him in his head.
Pot was incidental to the question put before the court, btw. This case could have just as easilly been about guns, environmental law, abortion, or a host of other issues.
