I don't know about that... if it wasn't such a totally unpopular, unacceptable viewpoint, I would bet dollars to donuts Scalia would have similar opinions.
Sorta ironic that one of the local news stations just had a black woman reporter (Brenda Waters for you Pittsburgh folk) doing a fluff piece on the legacy of Rehnquist.
ETA: Did Souter and Rehnquist hate each other? I don't know about the personal relationships between some of the justices, but I was just reading the statesments from the other justices on CNN.com and it said that a statement from Justice Souter was not expected.
