Nah, he is a troll, Crowley, who would represent the opposite opinion of me on nearly everything (including this) defended me, so it is not an opposition thing, just a stupid thing.
I don't let the idiots define my opposition, because idiots are on both sides and I would not want the one's on my side to define me. Generally I restrict them from my worldview. Much better world it becomes.

You know, the wish is father to the thought. But I fail to understand why something as small as your dick would prevent me from speaking straight.

Scalia is anti American, a liar, a hypocrite, and an abomination to the court
This is the justice who proclaims his opposition to an “activist court” , yet they wrote a new law to decide a presidential election, for purely partisan reasons, just as he and his brainless tea serving house boy token Thomas and the other members of the Reichstag four have over and over again..
Such is the extent of the trason the right will resort to

Scalia is a common street thug. You don't go fishing with vice-presidents when they have cases before you. Unless, of course, you are a street thug.

I would agree that “original intent” has its place in constitutional law. (There are two “Originalists” now sitting on the Supreme Court, which is the final arbiter of the interpretation of the Constitution.) I personally prefer a more flexible approach to judicial interpretation in light of our history. In this, I do not find it particularly helpful to try to divine the intent of the framers in every context, nor illuminating to read the Constitution by candlelight in its application to modern life. I have read the Federalist Papers many times, and what impresses me is that the framers of our Constitution were as much at odds about our form of government as we are today. Certainly, times have changed. Democracy in America has come a long way from its early beginnings following our struggle for independence. Likewise, the America that Alexis de Tocqueville described in the 1830's, which was largely an agrarian society, was eclipsed by the rise of the nation as an industrial power in the latter half of the 19th century to become the great economic and military power of the 20th century; and with such changes came the inevitable expansion of the nature and power of government, and the laws that govern our society. The framers could only be utterly astonished at the America of today. However, what I think would satisfy them most - notwithstanding the efforts of some religious sects that would rewrite our history, and other factions intent on undermining the independence of the judiciary - is that we are still a nation of laws and not men.

Wow, just saw this and this right before I read your post. Really drove home how much Scalia is ruining America.

These Reagan era conservatives have real balls coming on and pretending they are defending the Constitution. It goes to show the safe bastion of arrogance these people exist in. His answers on torture were also contemptuous.
That man should never be allowed to be a Supreme Court judge.

Scalia is a perfect example why NO person should be appointed for "life" to any office in the USA, or any other democracy for that matter. 8 - 10 - or at most 12 years is the most time that any one person should be allowed to impose his/her opinions on a democratic government.
The reasoning for the "life appointment" was too exclude political factors that might effect particular judicial decisions: well, a single limited one time appointment would also do that, and it would provide a "living" court instead of our presently decaying court.
I believe that our instruments of a democratically elected government have been overcome by the greed & ambitions of politicians once they get into office: and I believe that it will take a major change in our political & govermental structure to overcome the present bondage between political greed for office & the wealth it brings with it.
