I didn't always agree with Scalia ideologically, but that had more to do with my ideology. He was a legal purist--a dedicated jurist. He maintained his belief in law as a system of decisionmaking divorced from emotion and politics, even in an era when that was viewed as antiquated. It seems to me that he was more personally involved in writing his opinions than other justices. He really cared about his job. Btw, being appointed rather than elected is a strength of the Supreme Court, not a weakness (@MIR).

Who is on Obama's shortlist from previous rounds? I think Janet Napalitano was on it.

from what we know of his death so far, it's fairly obvious that god killed him.

My lawyer colleague once said what you did nearly word for word when I asked him who his favorite SCJ was.
