I'd also like to know what this has to do with the religious right. The dissenting judges were O'Connor (usually the moderate swing vote), Rehnquist and Thomas (both staunchly conservative).
The SC overturns state elections (usually referenda) frequently. State laws regarding abortion and homosexual rights have been overturned by courts that find that those laws are unconstitutional. I'd be interested to see the logic in this case. If anything, it's a move by fairly liberal judges to keep in place federal jurisdiction over exactly the stuff I mentioned - abortion and gay rights and a host of other hot-button issues.
