Scalia is a huge disappoint to those of us who believe in original intent/strict construction/9th and 10th amendments.

Damn straight! I believe his opinion was a dagger in the heart of our hope to restore the foundation of limited government. If he can't side with the Constitution even if means going against some previous misguided precedent then where are we, what is our hope.

Our hope is right-minded, good folks like yourself keep banging the drum of limited govt. until a majority of reasonable minds get appointed to the Supreme Court.

Actually, the poster above who referred to Congress is probably more near the solution. The Supreme Court is usually the "caboose" of the three cars of government. The President and Congress are more suited for leading sentiment/policy while the Supremes usually follow public sentiment/policy. (I am not saying that the Supremes never lead--abortion and homo rights being examples--only that they usually follow).
