I don't understand how any ACist or libertarian can press the button here against anyone. Doesn't your entire philosophy prohibit using aggression to violate a person's fundamental rights in order to achieve a teleological end? How can you justify pushing the button without accepting some form of utilitarianism?

I don't know why Scalia gets so many votes. Of all the justices who are allegedly originialists, he's the only one who can make a case that he's not simply a conservative judicial activist. Example.

Thomas would be a much better choice.

Find the last time she took the right side that wasn't a 9-0 decision.

I didn't realize your typical Supreme Court case was so cut and dry.

Of course its all subjective. We all have ideals for how justices should decide cases. I'm an original intent/strict interpretation kind of guy. Bader Ginsburg is a "what would produce the best results for what I want" kind of justice.

Thomas is much more intellectually consistent than Scalia. See Gonzales v. Raich in which Scalia concurred in favor of federal regulation of purely local marijuana cultivation.

I'm curious as to how many Americans would want to take out the big cheese himself. I think there's a good chance it's over 35%
