Young people, Scalia says, "are quite simply not participants in that market," and can't be made so by arguing that they'll participate later in life. This is a prime example of how completely divorced from reality Scalia is. Young people get in car accidents. They have sports injuries. They get cancer. They get MS. They get meningitis. Scalia obviously didn't think that argument through for even two minutes. I agree with Drum that liberals can't afford to be sanguine with respect to the Supreme Court, given the ideological lengths to which at least four Justices, and often 5, are willing to go to roll back all the progress of the twentieth century. I hope that is widely understood, as it constitutes an extremely good argument for voting for Obama.
