No. In this case, Ginsburg, Breyer, Souter, and Stevens dissented.

In Kelo vs New London, those four judges, along with the swing vote Kennedy (so there's really not a 'conservative majority') ruled in favor of the city.

The whole idea that the SCOTUS has a conservative majority when Heller was decided 5-4 is laughable.

Even if you incorrectly call Kennedy a conservative, the bias is blatant when the AP doesn't mention the 'liberalness' of 80% of the majority ruling justices in the Kelo vs New London case while labeling these judges the 'conservative majority'.
