Scalia On '60 Minutes'

Quote:

While he obviously had the capacity to absorb enough to pass the bar exam, his success was achieved not because of his legal prowess, but because he was an urban ethnic catholic, who could parrot the principles of textual interpretation to the tee. To those of the right wing extremist ilk, he was a prize pig token. Once again, this ability was not based on great aptitude, it was based in his inability to look any further than paper thin coating of Constitutional questions.

Scalia is clearly a bitter angry man, who is obviously educated far beyond his natural intelligence, and his decisions read as such in spades

That bitterness and lack of inborn intellect however is was just the combination the right always looks for in the judiciary

This makes the fact that Clearance Thomas has attached himself to Scalia hip, all the more pathetic. The token nit seems, has found his own token

Thanks and bless you "Smart". This is exactly what I was getting at in the OP. Scalia is so proud of his urban-Italian-boy-made-it-big background that he's blind to how he's being used. Or even worse sees himself as a good soldier of the forces that are manipulating him. Like I said, the powers that put Scalia where he is don't do things like that without an expected payback. We live under an extremist republican ideology that works on a free market definition for everything. This perversion of our system has equated economic success with a sound system of governance to the point that ANYTHING that perpetuates that success is seen as a valid means. So the corporate facade of multi-culturalism is used to support American plurality as a means of justifying the expected payback those powers demand. If you want a pluralized Supreme Court you are going to pay for it with a corrupted pre-determined politic that Scalia is all too happy to court. The powers get credit for being tolerant while getting their objective and that objective has little to do with tolerance and the other fineries they take credit for. Scalia knows what he's doing and he knows what his job is. That why he's there and it's why he's on '60 Minutes'.

He said that if he had his way he would put the "long haired and sandaled-wearing man" burning the flag in jail. This is supposed to make us believe he is forced not to by his respect for the Constitution - but that is fairly nervy considering the US IS putting people in jails and torture camps lately. So his basic presence on '60 Minutes' was to propagandize to the American public a sense of Constitutional protection that his party has seriously compromised. What Scalia needs to learn is the inherent value of being allowed to burn the flag. I'm afraid to say, like today, sometimes it deserves to be burned. The fact that Scalia doesn't understand that is exactly why he should never be allowed to be on the Supreme Court.

It's clear the right wing seeks out these people for exactly this reason.

You nailed it Jet.

These types of self loathing sellouts (Rice, Keyes, Scalia, etc) are political gold to the Right. They are like brainwashed over zealous religious converts, who follow the Dogma closer the they religions clergy.

Scalia is not just a political whore, he is a political whore who wears his token brand like a badge of honor

It is not name calling when it is a true depiction of the character of liberals and democrat party leaders, such as when John Karry says to the world that our troops are terrorists by terrorizing women and children in Iraq by breaking in to homes in the middle of the night... or when John Murtha usurps the judicial process and slanders his fellow Marines who were ambushed in Haditiha and I paraphrase " a group of cold blooded murder's" and was proven wrong...or like Dick "head" Durbin's remarks on the floor of Congress when he compares our military to Nazi's, Soviet and Pol pot regimes that aid the propaganda of our enemy and provide the talking points for them, and slander the United States military designed to undermine the publics confidence in the military, the administration, and the war....and if I were to be writing a proper essay I could list pages of the same treasonist behaviors. That's not name calling... that is calling the traitors on the carpet for what they really are and it is more compounded by the fact that they are doing so just for political points.

You rotten son of a bitch.

Do you think Iraqi civilians being woefully violated by the same troops that are supposed to be saving them from Saddam's oppression is merely a "political point"? How dare you you ruthless scheme-ing scumbag. Americans, like Blackwater mowing down civilians, have gotten away with war-crime atrocities in Iraq. Almost every case of abuse is dismissed by some military court that are allowed to judge their own actions. Our government's level of denial is amazing considering we are doing exactly what Saddam did and many Iraqi's say they were better off under Saddam. We were also better off since we now have a fascist government and pretend Congress. Only in America would we sell the Iraqi's on government accountability and then set laws in the occupied country we invaded by criminal means to make us immune from those very same laws. It's patriotism spouting fascist scumbags like you that make this all possible, while having the balls to question our patriotism when you yourself obviously don't understand what American patriotism is. Any moron can be faithful to a flag. The US flag was supposed to be worth only what the US put behind it in terms of faith to its own principles. Something we've now managed to bypass in order to put mob-ruled Fox News demogogues in as our new leaders.

Like I said before, you need to become an Iraqi and go over there with your phony beliefs and get a first hand taste of your form of patriotism. The US has slandered itself - it doesn't need anyone else to do it.

You say he is conservative thereofre dumb. You also say that the only reason he got the job is because his name ends in a vowel. Other than that you said nothing at all.

...and you libs still insist on tolerance. Seems to me you tolerate everything except those who disagree with your collectivist, defeatist, anti-American bilge.

Yep, you are exactly right.

Although I think you were lying, YOU said YOU were in the Navy.

He seems to not be doing so well in the real world...big surprise huh ?

If this sorry loeser has to face the truth of his useless life, he will stick his head in an oven

It is not uncommon for losers like himself, who cant make it in the real world

What you say could apply to yourself since you said you in the Navy. I guess you are a loser, by your own standards.
