Kimbrough and Gall Line-Ups:

Of potential note in Kimbrough and Gall is the breakdown of the justices in each case. Each decision was 7-2 with Justices Alito and Thomas dissenting. That's not the sort of 7-2 split that one would have expected, either on either traditional right-left or formalist-pragmatist grounds.
