Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Atonin Scalia is unhappy about members of the federal judiciary assuming powers not given them under the constitution. Scalia says that issues concerning social policy are the bussiness of the legislature and not activist judges. Because of the power currently being exercised in federal courtrooms it is likely that every confirmation hearing for the foreseeable future will be heated partisan battles. But Justice Scalia believes that the trend can not continue saying, "One way or another, the people will have their say on signifacant issues of social policy...and judges will be made politically accountable."
