First Monday

Today is First Monday, the opening of the new session of the Supreme Court of The United States. It also marks the first full year for the latest appointee, Judge Alito. There are four terrific judges on this Court, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito. Unfortunately, Justice Kennedy now assumes the role of so-called swing vote, and his record is not promising. If only Justice Stevens would retire so we could get a real adherent to the Constitution and not another who thinks he or she knows what's best. Viva Scalia!
