Scalia overruled for the last time

It's more likely to happen if Obama manages to push a compromise justice through but:

If a Republican wins the Presidency and gets to make the pick, their guy would probably pick somebody worse than an anti-Souter. If a Democrat wins, we get to pick 1-3 to replace Ginsburg, Breyer and/or Kennedy anyway. It seems like the odds are better for Obama taking a chance if he gets it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
