...fill Rehnquist's seat as an Associate Justice, the President picked Antonin Scalia, the son of an Italian immigrant, who has served since 1982 as a Reagan appointee on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Brilliant, engaging, tenacious and solidly conservative, Scalia (pronounced Skuh-lee-uh) will be a valuable ally for the new Chief Justice (who is already his crony in a floating monthly poker game in Washington) as well as a force on the court in his own right...
...Antonin "Nino" Scalia was named to the position Tuesday by President Reagan, following the surprise resignation of Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. Scalia, who has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals since 1982, must receive Senate confirmation before joining the nine-member Court...
Does the Gramm-Rudman Act violate the Constitution? Oklahoma Democratic Congressman Mike Synar raised that question hours after President Reagan signed the budget-balancing bill into law last December, in a suit joined by eleven Representatives of both parties.

But when the case was argued before the Federal Court of Appeals in Washington on Jan. 10, Judge Antonin Scalia outspokenly challenged Morris' view that Congress could not delegate its funding authority. "Congress often delegates to the Executive difficult questions that it would rather not grapple with," Judge Scalia said. "I don't see how you can say that Congress hasn't made the tough judgment. They've made...
...competition of other ideas." But facts can be false and actionable. Evans and Novak had quoted one unnamed political scientist as saying that "Ollman has no status within the profession, but is a pure and simple activist." Is that an opinion, or a fact subject to verification? To Judge Antonin Scalia, who is also a Reagan appointee on the court of appeals, this was a "classic and coolly crafted libel." But not to Bork. Ollman, he reasoned, was no cloistered academic. He boasted that most of his students became Marxists and had invented a Monopoly- like game called Class Struggle...
