In a 6-3 decision, the court decided that a convicted felon has the right to seek DNA testing that was not used at the time of his conviction.

What is really interesting about the decision is that Justice Thomas and Justice Scalia voted differently. This has never happened before.

That one caused quite a stir in the liberal sources I listen to, but in the end, the consensus was that it was the right decision. The First Amendment is more important than some hurt feelings.

The right decision by the constitution... Still stinks though.
