In the Gorsuch thread, someone mentioned Hollingsworth v. Perry, a gay rights case, where both Scalia and Sotomayor voted the opposite of what one would normally expect. Typically one would expect 5-4 ruling to go "Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito" v "Ginsburg, Kagan, Breyer, Sotomayor" with Kennedy the swing vote. Likewise, a 6-3 or 7-2 case would have the most conservative/liberal justices opposing everyone else.
What are some good example of Supreme Court cases, where the opinions don't fall along 'partisan' lines?
