A Tribute Thread to SC Justice Scalia

Fortunately the system is designed to have 9 Justices, that way even if every justice doesn't agree with your POV, if the majority do, then your awesome thoughts are passed.

Folks can hate on Scalia all they want, but the bottom line is he was not a totalitarian and his decension was often vital in determining the Constitutionality of many cases. You know, just in the off-chance that one of your awesome ideas may not be Constitutional. 

Who knows maybe one day all 9 Judge will share you awesome views and you have to dislike any of them.

What does this even mean?

None of us are allowed to disagree with a Supreme Court decision?

If that is not what you mean then please explain.  We all know how the system works.  I just don't see how that means we are not allowed to disagree.

Are you aware that sometimes even the Supreme Court justices themselves disagree with the ruling of a previous court.  If no one ever disagreed with the Dred Scott decision then it would still be good law.
