...Kennedy penned the opinion in Boumediene v. Bush, which many believe was the most significant decision legally this term because the court declared the unconstitutionality of President Bush and Congress' scheme for handling Guantanamo Bay prisoners during a time of heightened national security concerns.

And he continually formed part of the majority in the other high-profile cases: voter ID, the lethal injection decision, Exxon and the child pornography ruling. By contrast, several prominent decisions this...
