by brain trust I presume you mean self-contradicting partisan bumbler: Since his Reagan-sponsored appointment in 1986, Scalia has become a favorite son of the conservative movement. He does not believe the courts should play a significant role in the work of the executive and legislative branches, believes checks and balances between the three branches of government are necessary and critical, and often argues that the law's primary role is to protect "the liberties of the people" from the unchecked powers of any of the three branches. Scalia favors a very strict reading of the Constitution and has attempted repeatedly to strike down Roe v. Wade, saying that abortion is a political issue that should not be decided by the court. Scalia is often seconded by Clarence Thomas.
