Actually three of the big conservatives dissented - Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and William Renquist.
Government shouldn't be able to take your property just to increase their tax base. That's bullshit. Government doesn't exist just to perpetuate itself, it's supposed to protect people's rights.
This combined with the recent marijuana(Raich) case is extremely troubling.

O'Connors dissenting arguement is an excellent read, if I can find it again I will post it.
Its funny to me that alot of democrats run around screaming about how conservative the supreme court is. If this is their definition of conservative the American people are in deep trouble.
Polls have shown that 97% of the populace thinks this decision is wrong. Folks over at Democratic Underground are going nuts.
I think we have a government that is totally out of control, at least the judicial branch anyways.
