"Judicial hegemony"

What a wonderful turn of phrase -- "judicial hegemony". Scalia may have hit upon something here, friends. For years, the left has used the word "hegemony" like a weapon, but in reality, the definition falls short when they apply it. Here, however, what a wonderful way to get the point across. I still like "judicial activism" as a descriptive term, but "judicial hegemony" is a delightful Scaliaism.

Each of his quotes is right on target. But here's hoping he is wrong that we cannot get someone with his views confirmed to the Court of Appeals. Let's prove him wrong on that one count?

If we cannot confirm judges such as Scalia who apparently harbor the not-so-radical notion that judges should apply the Constitution as it is written, rather than using some secret decoder ring or kneeling at the throne of the radical leftist agenda that embraces the "living Constitution" theory, then we have a rather grim future for the Constitution itself.
