Associate Professor at Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law.

This Essay borrows a few lines from an essay the author wrote for Slate in the days immediately following Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. See Lisa T. McElroy, This West Wing Episode Predicted the Controversy around Scalia’s Replacement in Eerie Detail (Slate, Feb 16, 2016), online at http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2016/02/16/the_west_wing_episode_the_supremes_prefigured_the_controversy_around_scalia.html (visited May 13, 2016) (Perma archive unavailable).

Or so said a talking head about Justice Antonin Scalia this spring, right?
