What Would Have Been Justice Scalia's Legacy If He Survived Into The Trump Presidency?

This Reason article presents a counterfactual analysis framed as intellectual exploration rather than advocacy for a particular political outcome. The piece centers on academic-style reasoning (via Richard Re) about constitutional jurisprudence rather than advancing a partisan agenda, and uses neutral framing around a hypothetical scenario. Reason's libertarian perspective tends toward skepticism of executive power regardless of party, which places it slightly right of center but not in partisan Republican territory.
