Hendricks that Thomas and Scalia were in the majority upholding a Kansas law concerning civil commitment after the criminals scheduled release. Breyer was in the minority. The challenge to the law was on different grounds but I still find it interesting.<br /><br />Thomas, writing for the majority, stated,<br /><br />"We hold that the Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act comports with due process requirements and neither runs afoul of double jeopardy principles nor constitutes an exercise in impermissible ex post-facto lawmaking. Accordingly, the judgment of the Kansas Supreme Court is reversed"Tomnoreply@blogger.com
