Greenhouse explained that Scalia is known for spreading his maximalist ideology and that now there is finally a counterweight in Bryer who is doing the same for the minimalists.
Although throughout the lecture Greenhouse made it apparent that she agreed more with Bryer and the minimalists than Scalia and the maximalists, she concluded by saying that she believed that there did not need to be nine justices of one ideology or the other.

Linda Greenhouse, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Supreme Court reporter for The New York Times, was off duty when in 1989 she joined a huge march supporting legal abortion in Washington, D.C. This was shortly before the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a major abortion case, and other journalists criticized her participation in the march.
Drawn primarily from Blackmun’s papers at the Library of Congress, to which she was the first journalist to have access, Greenhouse’s book covers the abortion, death penalty and sex-discrimination cases and the unraveling of the nearly lifelong friendship between Blackmun and the late Chief Justice Warren Burger.
Greenhouse says he told one friend, soon after Roe came down, that “I share your abhorrence for abortion.” But his experience with the death penalty had accustomed him to separating his personal convictions from his official work.

Greenhouse, the New York Times's veteran Supreme Court watcher, draws primarily on Blackmun's massive personal archive to show how his authorship of the majority opinion in Roe (7 — 2) propelled him down several unexpected paths.
The personality that emerges in Greenhouse's portrayal is that of a self-effacing and scholarly judge, devoid of partisanship, willing to follow his ideas wherever they led him.
The story of his lifelong friendship with Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, and how that friendship withered in the crucible of life on the nation's highest court, is another compelling human story that runs through the narrative, revealing how political differences became personal--even for the country's most respected jurists.

They issued a subsequent opinion, which is the only opinion that the Supreme Court is going to review, that limited the holding to the public schools and said that for teachers to lead students i--public school students in the pledge was unconstitutional, was a violation of separation of church and state.
ALAN MURRAY (CNBC): Linda, the r--the remarkable thing about that story to me is that one--one of the justices, Justice Scalia, has recused himself, and in a court that, as you know better than any of us, decides so many of these cases on 5-4 decisions could make all the difference in the world.
