Scalia and the conservatives on the court are usually not willing to make sweeping decisions, but try to craft rulings which apply only to the present case.

Well, when it means reading statements into an old decision that don't exist, that's the worst example of "Judicial Activism."

It's like the Gore v. Bush case, which you're not supposed to cite because it applies only to that case. Good luck with that!
