Scalia was the 103rd person to sit on the court. He deeply influenced a generation of conservative legal thinkers and was a lightning rod for criticism from the left almost from the moment President Ronald Reagan put him on the court in 1986. He is shown here with fellow justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito and Elena Kagan (standing) and Clarence Thomas, Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy and Ruth Bader-Ginsburg (seated).
