Scalia is correct in suggesting that the Court is in real danger of having its decisions ignored by individuals and even entire states, through a process of what we might call "credibility attrition."

And of course, with a change in Presidents, the kneecapping of the Court's credibility could accelerate. It's too bad, because sometimes you actually need a Supreme Court. But not to write your laws or your grocery list or to name your children, or whatever other powers the Majority in this decision hopes to acquire.
