Conservative advocates seek steadfast justices and Scalia impact
The passage contrasts energetic conservative jurists with Justice Scalia as a potential voice for restraint who faces opposition on divisive issues. It notes Brennan, Marshall, Blackmun, Stevens, Powell, White, and O Connor forming a liberal center, while Scalia challenges abortion rights and questions federal power. It concludes that even a Scalia vote could still leave five votes for broad abortion rights, citing a recent Pennsylvania decision.

Burger to retire as chief justice amid White House notice
Chief Justice Warren Burger said he is not weary of the role and joked about health while White House officials confirmed he told President Reagan of his retirement plans at a private meeting. Reagan announced Scalia’s nomination for the Supreme Court, praising his intellect and energy and expecting easy Senate confirmation. Scalia would be the first Italian American on the court at age 50.
