Justice Scalia's "evil day":

Linda Greenhouse, perhaps the most knowledgeable member of the press on the machinations of the Supreme Court, offers her opinions about where the Roberts' court might go next with its right-wing activist agenda, after having recently overturned one hundred years of legislation meant to protect American citizens from having democracy sold to the highest bidder.

Greenhouse speculates that anti-abortionists may have to wait awhile before the court sets back thirty-seven years of federal law on their favorite issue. Instead, we are likely to see a further development of the old racial bugaboo, separate but equal. The current means of achieving this injustice is to make sure the vast majority of minorities receive a much poorer education than their white counterparts so that they cannot advance as quickly.
