“The most important thing is whether this person will write the new Constitution that you like,” Scalia said of today's politicized confirmation process. “If the court's rewriting the Constitution, it's an enormously powerful political body -- and its selection will be done in a political fashion."

Scalia comes down against politicized confirmations....AND recognizes that that is what we, in fact, have today.

I wonder if he would agree with tenured or elected Scotus justices?

Who was the freeper arguing this with us the other day?

I wonder if he would agree with tenured or elected Scotus justices?

I think he would say that to do that CLEARLY REQUIRES a constitutional amendment.

IMHO, Justice Scalia is a rare beacon of hope that the role of the SCOTUS will return to limited interpretation of the law, as well as the body politic returning to functioning within its restraints as imposed by the Constitution.

We need more jurists of his calibre and restraint.
