States vs. SCOTUS : Is this why Alito will abide by the rule of law?

Liberal Socialist agenda in the courts?

"Your philosophy is to follow the law."

This is really interesting. I would love to find out how many times he has said the idea of "common sense", "real world" but most importantly tradition, discipline, faithful to the law and read on that one, state law.

Again, the stress of rule of law is not about precedent. It's all about state rights.

Is this about the South still looking to win the Civil War?

Words to live by

"Is the appointment of Chaplains to the two Houses of Congress consistent with the Constitution, and with the pure principle of religious freedom? In strictness the answer on both points must be in the negative. The Constitution of the U. S. forbids everything like an establishment of a national religion. The law appointing Chaplains establishes a religious worship for the national representatives, to be performed by Ministers of religion, elected by a majority of them, and these are to be paid out of the national taxes. Does this not involve the principle of a national establishment...?"
