well, i stand by the claim that the problem was the climate of hysteria generated by the idiot response to 9/11/2001 and maintained for political purposes through 2005 at the least. you can still see the traces of the division between those who think within that frame and those who dont in the distance separating scalia's minority opinion from the majority opinion.

to take this a step further: i see nothing automatic in the american system of checks--i see this decision as a reflection of the dissolution of the environment they worked to maintain. collective hysteria remains a huge and frightening possibility, a permanent problem. and the contemporary ideological apparatus--which we call "the media"--makes such hysteria a constant possibility.
