→Opinions: added his 5-4 federalism decision
Justice Scalia wrote the oft-cited Court opinion in ''[[R.A.V. v. St. Paul]]'', 505 U.S. 377 (1992), which enjoyed 5-4 support though the verdict was unanimous. Justice Scalia also wrote the 7-2 Court opinion in ''[[Crawford v. Washington]]'', 541 U.S. 36 (2004), in which he applied the [[Confrontation Clause]] to exclude an out-of-court statement by a witness who did not testify in court (because of the spousal privilege) against her defendant husband.

Justice Scalia has been a consistent supporter of [[federalism]], and in ''[[Printz v. United States]]'' (1997) he wrote the 5-4 opinion that invalidated certain interim provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub. L. 103-159, 107 Stat. 1536, commanding state and local law enforcement officers to conduct background checks on prospective handgun purchasers and to perform certain related tasks.
