Would Scalia survive if another conservative were replaced with a liberal?

Almost all the big stuff goes the liberal way.
Scalia dissents mightily for a while but blows a gasket and falls dead.
Yet another liberal replaces Scalia.
Now SCOTUS has a 6.5 justice liberal majority.
What do the Republicans do?
Kennedy is no longer important. He tries to hang out of Roberts and Alito, but they're sick of his shit. |

I worry about his health and how many meatballs he is eating. |

Date: June 27th, 2015 10:48 AM Author: Spectacular Bipolar Area Liquid Oxygen In Lawrence, Scalia wrote: "State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers’ validation of laws based on moral choices. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today’s decision; the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding."
In Obergefell, Scalia wrote "I join THE CHIEF JUSTICE’s opinion in full. I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy." The opinion he joined "in full" states, "The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Court’s precedent." And "Ultimately, only one precedent offers any support for the majority’s methodology: Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45."
So it's a fair question to Scalia whether Lawrence is or is not precedent for Obergefell. |

Date: June 26th, 2015 9:13 PM Author: Spectacular Bipolar Area Liquid Oxygen I don't think they could hold out for 18 months through an election year. It'd be so obviously partisan if the candidates were John Roberts level jurists that it could result in a democratic president.
If it happens in June 2016, maybe. Next month, no way. |
