The justices ruled 5-4 against the plaintiffs, with a total of 6 opinions issued. The opinions issued were the primary ruling with 2 concurring and 3 dissenting papers.
Find the "position" of the Washington Supreme Court's plurality over the fold. "Judicial Activism" as a conservative talking point against "Liberal Judges" is now DEAD, IMO. I've not seen a more rampant case of "Judicial Activism" before in my life.
