Ford sustained nomination after Nixon s resignation Returned to teaching due to Watergate scandal 1982, nominated for US Court of Appeals for DC Circuit Supreme Court nomination unanimously confirmed, 98-0 More On Antonin Scalia An originalist, meaning he interpreted the Constitution with the meanings & intentions present when adopted Ideological opposite to a living Constitution Evolves by incorporating contemporary meanings & intentions of society-at-large Supported states rights So you want to be a Supreme Court Justice?
