Kate, in your interview Linda Greenhouse says:

Why not?

And she says:

“Many [democrats] think, ‘We need our Scalia’ — which is to say a staunch ideological justice, but for the progressive side…”

So, that puts Scalia on…the CONSTITUTIONAL side! And that is why he is such a great Supreme Court justice.
