Supreme Court of the United States

Kansas v. Crane — Scalia, J., dissenting

January 22, 2002534 U.S. 407

Summary

Justice Scalia dissents, arguing the majority incorrectly reverses the Court’s earlier holding in Kansas v. Hendricks regarding the Kansas Sexually Violent Predator Act. He contends substantive due process does not require a separate finding of inability to control behavior beyond mental abnormality or personality disorder as established in Hendricks.
