The Roberts-Scalia-Alito-Thomas-Kennedy Court will not only continue the work of the Rehnquist Court and make the rightward turn more dramatic - it will also preside over the expansion of presidential powers in ways never before imagined.
Excuse me? How can the ideals of the Rehnquist era of returning to federalism be continued if the Court will further expand the powers of the Executive Branch? Unfortunately, after reading the Scalia opinion today, this guy probably has it backwards. With the recent nominations this may end up being the most federally minded (national supremacy) court in recent history. Thomas, even though he agreed with Scalia and Roberts in a separate decision, may be the only conservative on the bench that still understands the ideals of federalism and the correct position of states' rights.
Give the guy a break. He's a Dim shill; he doesn't have to make sense.

How 'bout a synopsis???
Just curious, but didja ever wonder why the states were so eager to cede their sovereignty to the feral gummint? I recall wondering to myself some 20 - 25 years ago, "what gives here?" Power to a politician, even state politicos, is like well, rye whiskey to a drunk. My thoughts then, but less so now, the feral gummint was better able to skim off tax dollars than the states. Who would then "redistribute" the bacon drippings amongst the several states to level the playing field. It would be more fair you see. I suppose the well off states were probably brow beaten into sharing the wealth???
