“Scalia’s Death Offers Best Chance in a Generation to Reshape Supreme Court”

Excellent NYT article by Adam Liptak:

At-risk precedents run from campaign finance to commerce, from race to religion, and they include some signature Scalia projects, such as the Second Amendment,” said Lee Epstein, a law professor and political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis.

“Some would go quickly, like Citizens United, and some would go slower,” she said. “But they’ll go.”

What was missing, though, was discussion of the OTHER upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court, and how that affects the possible shifts in the Court.  More on that in my Wonkblog piece from Monday, The battle over replacing Justice Scalia is just the start of a war over the Supreme Court.
