Well, as you said, they were not ruling on claims of racism. Just a
technicality about the timelines. Scalia's vote is no more relevant than
the others for this reason.
I think Scalia just has a bad rep because he tends to speak more to the
media than the others. I don't follow this stuff often, and while I may
not like his views on occasion, I haven't actually seen anything
suggesting there's something wrong with his votes.
