The problem I see is that as long as we have a highly politicized administration appointing politicized justices, sound logic such as Justice Scalia brings become moot. It matters not how well reasoned the argument is when a political agenda is being crammed down our throats. While we may have a leg to stand on at this time due to the current makeup of the SC, that situation eventually will deteriorate as long as leftists remain in power in the legislative and executive branches.

It is all relative. It all depends on political whims. Unfortunately, we can't rely on our government remaining true to the founding documents and founding principles, we haven't been able to do so for most of our lifetimes.
