George Douglas and Diane Ker ...

Is his full name George Douglas Ker? Could be made more explicit.

The citation Diane Ker et ux. is surprising, as uxor means 'wife'! �—Tamfang (talk) 00:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

5-4 or 9-0[edit]

In this case 4 justices were concurent/dissent to the majority's opinion and it is written that The case was decided on June 10, 1963, by a vote of 5-4.(not 9-0). So, we consider that concurent/dissent is an against vote. I am agree with it. But I have a reasonable question: why in Lawrence v. Texas we see such a statement: In the 6–3 ruling, the Court struck down the sodomy law in Texas and.... In Lawrence O'Connor was concurent/dissent, so it must be 5-4, and not 6-3. Where is a mistake, in this article or in Lawrence?? Do we consider a concurent/dissent like favor vote or against vote to the majority's opinion?? 217.76.1.22 (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
