5. One technicality was unanimous.
The important part was five to four. As usual.

6. Technically, no. They dissented on the class action aspect, but agreed on parts 1 and 2.
Edited on Tue Jun-21-11 04:53 AM by joshcryer
As far as the OP title is concerned, they did dissent where class action is concerned, as the dissenters did believe that there was standing, as the individuals in question did share a commonality between them (particularly that women were paid less than men in all cases).

As far as the case itself they were unanimous on 2 out of 3 points.

SCALIA, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which ROBERTS, C. J., and KENNEDY, THOMAS, and ALITO, JJ., joined, and in which GINS-BURG, BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., joined as to Parts I and III.


Ginsburg does say something interesting in her dissention (technically her opinion but she has a strong enough one that I'd personally call it a dissention):

Whether the class the plaintiffs describe meets the specific requirements of Rule 23(b)(3) is not before the Court, and I would reserve that matter for consideration and decision on remand.


Nice rhetoric but I think this is unfortunately the last we hear of this. Those other scum in the SCOTUS are goddamn corrupt to the core...
