"Win or lose, Scalia remains energized. Justice Breyer has often referred to the "physical energy" and "intellectual rigor" Scalia brings to the task. And Thomas observes, "He puts on his music and gets his computer ready. It's like he's conducting a symphony... with majority opinions, and dissents, too." Scalia might be at the apex of his influence. With conservatives holding the balance of power, and still being among the younger members of the nine, these final years of the first decade of the twenty-first century might offer Scalia his best ever opportunity to prevail. This could be his best shot."
