During the ABC News Special Report on Saturday concerning the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, chief foreign correspondent and longtime Supreme Court reporter Terry Moran opined that while Scalia was “a towering figure,” the conservative Justice “didn’t win that much” and thus was relegated to dissents that were “scathing and sarcastic but were loud and clear.”

On the phone in Mexico City since he’s covering Pope Francis’s visit to Mexico, Moran began by telling anchor Tom Llamas that “Scalia was just a towering figure on the Supreme Court and in America law through the force of his intellect, but his sheer force of his personality he, for three decades, he led the conservative movement in American law to roll back the era of liberal activism on the courts.”
