Scalia, one of the Supreme Court’s most reliable conservatives, recalled that he sailed through his own 1986 high court confirmation by a Senate vote of 98-0. He implied the same result would be impossible in today’s nearly evenly split, highly partisan Senate. “Just between you and me,” he jokingly told hundreds of lawyers at a luncheon, “I have always been a fairly conservative person. I think that was known 18 years ago.” –Fox News
