My God! Justices Scalia and Thomas are just the 2 biggest tools ever, in my opinion.

The greatest lever of opinion on the SCOTUS is HISTORY - most Justices really don't want history to judge them as small minded synchophants enthralled to the interests of the day, although there are always a few notable exceptions.
