The Supreme Court would NOT have to look back to ancient times for guidance on this issue; the laws that prevail are the culmination of centuries of decisions and they remain in force.

Scalia and Thomas are throwbacks and morons. Scalia is a far right wing racist and denier of rights in virtually all decisions, and Thomas is an Uncle Tom who hates his won identity and wants more than anything to return to a simpler are where the bounds were well known and enforced.
the ONLY decision I agree with by thomas was when he was flabbergasted at the decision to make the use of medical cannabis legal in States that have passed laws allowing same; he sided with the States Rights side, and of course Scalia ALWAYS votes EVERY TIME for anything that has COP or SEARCH on it. Scalia is much like Mussolini, very much so. He is a crude and devilish lawyer with a chip on his shoulder and firmly in the pocket of the Repugs ( repugnant Republicans ).
Thomas and Scalia can destroy the constitution as easily as voting to stop an election recount ( see Bush victory) or in ways that destroy the rights we enjoy, such as stop and search laws, police dog laws, intrusions into privacy, etc. and they do so with relish.
Scalia wants to be dictator and Thomas wants to return to Alabama with a banjo on his knee to sing quaint songs to assuage his fellow blacks to stay silent and follow the rules despite the loss of rights, loss of jobs, loss of dignity, etc. he is a lackey of the Feds and desperate to maintain the status quo.
We do NOT have to go back to slavery times and times when the laws were in flux being decided, we can do fine now if the Supremes would act according to the Constitution and not rewriting the laws due to the lies and fearmongering of the Bush cabal.
America is almost gone now; if someone from the past could step into the present and see what the laws are, they would be sickened at what has been taken away from us. Phony wars on terror, phony wars on SOME drugs, phony politicians covering each others backs, it goes on and on.
until the people wake up and smell the dungheap we are making for the future, the descent into oblivion will continue, and real justice will continue to evade us.
