***Scalia on Brown v. Board of Education: "I would have dissented" [thanks TJ]
ME:
I do like the way that he remained consistent with what he has been holding to all this time, even though (i'm sure he knew) the answer would be (highly) unpopular.
And, his reasoning for doing so is sound: kings (and tyrants) can do some good things, but that's not to say that backing away from our system of government is a wise idea.
I don't think that what this says is that Scalia thinks that what the court decision was getting at was a bad thing, but rather that changing things is not the court's job: it's the American peoples' (as carried out by law through the Legislative process in ammending the Constitution, in the same way the slavery was ended and in the same way that women's suffrage was recognized).
