Scalia showing his respect for diverse opinion

[scaeagles]

I would that many justices have set in stone opinions. Such as the meaning of eminent domain. It should not drift in the wind because of an argument that increased tax revenue benefits a community in the same way that a new highway does.

The definition is not open to debate. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot (or a crook).

GD, I do not think that the majority of senators that voted against Alito, for example, did so because they thought there was a better person for the job. There is always better. They played politics with their votes just as they do with any number of other votes. The politics being played was pretty evident in their speeches posing as questions.
