Right now I'm reading Scalia's opinion, in which he's tearing Stevens apart. For example:

That JUSTICE STEVENS is not applying any version of Palko is clear from comparing, on the one hand, the rights he believes are covered, with, on the other hand, his con­clusion that the right to keep and bear arms is not cov­ered.

I've never read a set of opinions in which one member of the court so clearly slams the opinion of another (although IANAL, let alone a SCOTUS expert). Does this signal anything about the future of the court, or about the Chief Justice's leadership?

Don't know, but today is Stevens last day on the Supreme Court....
