What US Supreme Court case has a majority opinion concurring opinion and dissenting opinion?
Many cases fit these criteria, because split decisions are common on a court where members have mixed political ideologies.Justices who strongly oppose a majority decision will often write a dissenting opinion(s) in order to record their legal reasoning for consideration in future cases. Justices who sign onto the majority opinion may also issue concurring opinions to clarify or expand on points in the majority opinion; or they may write an individual concurring opinion because they agree with the decision, but not with the legal reasoning used to arrive at that decision.Here are three recent cases that include majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions:Lawrence v. Texas, 539 US 558 (2003)The Court overturned a Texas state law making same-sex intimacy illegal on the grounds that the law violates the Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause.Majority: Kennedy, joined by Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg and BreyerConcurring: O'ConnorDissenting: Scalia, joined by CJ Rehnquist and Thomas; Thomas (separate dissenting opinion)Kelo v. City of New London, 545 US 469 (2005)Controversial case in which the Court affirmed the right of New London to exercise eminent domain to transfer land from a private owner to a business developer as a permissible "public use" under the Fifth Amendment Taking Clause.Majority: Stevens, joined by Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg and BreyerConcurring: Kennedy (added details)Dissenting: O'Connor, joined by CJ Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas; Thomas (separate dissenting opinion)Giles v. California, 554 US ___ (2008)Held that a convicted murdered who claimed evidentiary use of a conversation between the police and his deceased girlfriend was a violation of the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause, because the defendant could not cross-examine the witness (he had killed her).Majority: Scalia, joined by CJ Roberts, Souter, Thomas, Ginsburg and AlitoConcurring: Thomas; Souter, joined by GinsburgDissenting: Breyer, joined by Stevens and Kennedy
