5. Without looking it up, I'll wager the four dissenters were: |
|
Scalia Thomas Roberts Alito
Now I'll check to see if I'm correct.

8. They didn't say but that was my guess. Meanwhile, the bad news is that they |

10. I read a day or 2 ago that Kennedy has been in the majority on every vote this year |
|

11. Kennedy wrote the opinion, so I guess he was |

That's the only justice's name I can find on this story. I guess it's not difficult to figure out who the others are.

13. Well, I was right. I predicted the four dissenters: |
|
