So I suppose we can’t count on Justice Scalia to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade if Kennedy retires and is replaced with a conservative justice? Because stare decisis is very important? I don’t think so. He’ll vote to overturn, as will Thomas, Roberts, Alito and whoever the new conservative justice is.

That was exactly the case that Scalia was referring to when he spoke of the importance of stare decisis. You seem to have missed the importance of the word 'importance.' It is not a synonym for 'impossible.'
