Not quite spot on. I doubt the left was happy with O'Connor's dissent in the recent Raich case. Scalia, on the other hand, concurred with the left-wing majority of the Court in that case. Speaking of New Deal era Constitution-twisting, he based his concurrence on Wickard vs Filburn.

Very true...I've long believed (as I've posted on here many times) that Scalia has become quite a disappointment...from his implicit criticism of Justice Thomas' refusal to be constrained by bad prior Court decisions...to his acceptance of the doctrine of 14th Amendment incorporation of the BOR against the states...to his Commerce Clause decisions...Scalia is a distant second to Thomas in terms of his fidelity to the words and original meaning of the Constitution
