Good Morning Clo!
Isn't it beautiful?
The American people have always built beautiful courthouses. This one is the most beautiful of them all.
When the archeologists in five thousand years descend upon North America they will discover that the Americans built more court houses than churches, mosques and temples.
In this courthouse the great issues of humanity have been abjudicated, and the American people have adopted the decisions of this court as their marrow.
For every Scalia there is a William O. Douglas.
Scalia's oath is to defend the Constitution.
He is unwavering. That is why Justices are given life tenure.

Article III explains for perpetuity the basis and foundation of the Supreme Court.
Article III has become the blueprint for justice for democracies all over the globe.
Article III.
Section. 1.
The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
Section. 2.
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;-- between a State and Citizens of another State,--between Citizens of different States,--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.
Section. 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

I assume that Obama will appoint female Justices.
Sworn to the Constitutional oath, it seems obvious that this Harvard Law Review Editor sitting in the White House would address the concerns of half the People. The more than half of the American population that is female.
The greatest issue facing the human race is gender equality.
In that courthouse, in that city, American women are ascendant. In that little temple of justice the rights of women on this planet are being determined.
With three New York City girls already sitting on the Court, I doubt that Obama will go with another New Yorker.
Human history has shown us that courts are better at protecting houses of worship than houses of worship are at protecting courts.
What defines us as a society is the rule of law.
People who do not share your politics are inevitably crude, boring, and tedious.
