The Newest Supreme and School Choice.
How does "Justice Samuel Alito" sound? Pretty good, if you're concerned about letting low-income people have the same thing that wealthier Americans have--school choice.

At least that's the word from the Alliance for School Choice:

"Although history makes abundantly clear that it is impossible to predict a Supreme Court justice’s positions, based on the evidence available, we believe that Justice Alito has a firm grasp on relevant legal issues and would provide a fair hearing to advocates of school choice," says president Clint Bolick. "In that regard, the nomination does not change the Court’s course at all, but would keep it solidly on track in support of educational opportunities for children who need them desperately."

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
