My apologies, the vote for the siezure case was 5-4. In this case O'Connor actually voted in the dissent; the original story upon which I based my comment above had indicated she was one of the 5. (No, it was an AP posting shortly after the ruling, so don't go "right wing whacko media here"). That was obviously in error and has since been corrected as a Google search just indicated.
My original rant was based upon that originally erroneous story and the fact that she has in the past sided with things such as upholding the reversal of first amendment rights in the campaign finance reform law decision. Given that occurence, I didn't question what I had originally read.
