Michael holds a BA in Biology with a minor in Philosophy. He likes to spend his free time hiking and defending science, though not usually at the same time. Contrary to popular (but not scientific) belief, the positive and appropriate perception of science is undermined by religion, alternative medicine, the U.S. education system, and most science journalists.

It is a sad time for Antonin Scalia’s family and friends. However, speaking purely in terms of his impact on American society, there have been few – perhaps no – better times since the end of WW2.

I can’t agree with that. While Scalia certainly oppressed a lot of people, and I let out a joyous whoop when I learned he was dead, he wasn’t actually sending people to the ovens.
Keep in mind that his vacancy, and the now-possibility of a Cruz presidency, could mean that we’ll soon be wishing Scalia had made it well into his 80s.
I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with. This post was specific to American society and specific to the post WW2 era. The comparison you made concerned European affairs during WW2.
