I was never that much of a fan of Scalia. He would find meanings in the Constitution to support his authoritarian desires, the prime example being Raich, where he found a reason for his viewpoints in the Necessary and Proper Clause. I vastly prefer a justice who exercises restraint in this day and age of gross federal overreach. Apparently you have no problem with such.

That’s a valid concern on one side. On the other side, there is “strike while the iron’s hot”, “there’s no do-over” and the fact that the lefties on the SC have no such compunction when it fits their agenda.

I think that says far more about you than it does about Scalia. Regardless of people's partisan beliefs, there is almost universal consensus that Scalia was one of the most reliable conservatives on the court in decades. He was probably Reagan's best pick, and given that we're talking about Reagan, that says a lot. Reagan managed to pick a successor to Rehnquist that was even more conservative than Rehnquist.

If you're a Gorsuch fanboy, probably Sandra Day O'Connor was more your kinda "ideal" SCOTUS judge.

Foreign residents do not and should not enjoy the constutional rights guaranteed by the US constitution.

Gorusch went along with the courts liberals in drastically expanding legal rights for foreign nationals.

Expect the 9th circus to use this for their own ridiculous activism.
