:: Lash out? I am merely removing your repeated malicious and misleading edits that suggest that Scalia favored racial segregation in the 1950s. The article is about Scalia. He has been writing Supreme Court opinions for 20 years. It is fine to put in some informed commentary about his actual opinions. It is not okay to put in wild speculation about issues that Scalia never addressed. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 13:51, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

==Decisions touching on segregation==
*In 1992, Scalia wrote that the courts should stop overseeing the desegregation of schools previously subject to de jure segregation, even for schools that remain significantly segregated. (Freeman v. Pitts)68 His concurrence in that ruling argues that school segregation cannot be remedied because it is impossible to identify its actual causes. Although he quotes a previous case acknowledging that discrimination may be partly caused by "discriminatory school assignments,"69 he still insists that it is unreasonable for the courts to keep overseeing these schools until such segregation is ended. Later in 1992, Scalia was the sole dissenter from an 8-1 ruling that Mississippi had failed to remedy the effects of discrimination in higher education. (United States v. Fordice)70 [http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=11154]
