Justice Scalia (joined by the Chief Justice and Justice Thomas in dissent):
While overruling the outcome of Bowers, the Court leaves strangely untouched its central legal conclusion: Respondent would have us announce ... a fundamental right to engage in homosexual sodomy. This we are quite unwilling to do. Instead the Court simply describes petitioners conduct as an exercise of their liberty (which it undoubtedly is) and proceeds to apply an unheard-of form of rational-basis review that will have far-reaching implications beyond this case.

Link to Scalia's dissent. It's wonderful reading (as usual). The problem is that I doubt the people it's aimed at are smart or literate enough to get more than an uneasy impression he's lampooning them.
