Re Scalia, the Supreme Court, etc.
Just a quick note to point out a long standing political structural problem here. This is one of many issues, everywhere one looks, that Americans have never really been taught to understand at all. Why? Because it was seldom in the personal or party interests of politicians, legislative, judicial, or executive, state or federal, to discuss with them, really.
The Federal Court system, especially its bench, does not want either a particularly strong federal legislative or executive branch (they got their wish, from the beginning, really, but only capitalized on it in stages), nor does it really want strong state legislative, executive, or judicial branches (again, they got their wish from the beginning).
What it has long wanted most, and gotten long ago, is a strong federal judicial branch, and especially the Supreme Court.
