Scalia: I'm calling that 'racial entitlement.' Do you know what that means?
man: That it's time for you to join the Pope in retirement?
Tom: Uphold that precedent!
Plus his belief that he can comment whenever he wants on whatever he wants, even if it’s something that is working its way to the court. Our judges are supposed to at least pay lip service to our belief in impartiality. It was Scalia who lobbied the court to readdress the entire campaign contribution situation instead of narrowly defining Citizens United.
Scalia thinks we should follow the Constitution EXACTLY as written — by a bunch of privileged slaveowning white guys — except when he disagrees with it. It is astonishing to me how he can switch from “no judicial activism” to massively rewriting law in a millisecond.
Rachel Maddow said last night on The Daily Show, she saw when Scalia said his stuff about entitlement. She said he’s a troll, just saying stuff to get a rise out of us. So much for being one of the adults in the room.
The Voting Rights Act obviously needs to be upheld in this day & age. There’s still so much hatred against those who don’t agree with them & willing to suppress votes whenever & wherever possible. Seems like the voice of reason will fall to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Based on his name/heritage, Scalia’s family would not have qualified to vote when they came here. As would Kennedy’s (No Irish Need Apply). Scalia already has the robe. I’m sure the Klan wouldn’t care if his was black!
I think Rachel called it correctly last night on the Daily Show — she was there, and said it was clear from his body language that Scalia is a troll. Saying offensive things because he likes the reaction.
Scalia (and Thomas) get almost as much from “speaking engagements” from the Koch brothers as they do from their judicial salary. Anjd don’t forget the Gang of Five just repealed the Fourth Amendment again.
A gang they are. A bad gang. Thomas and Scalia and one other should retire or re/ Excuse themselves for their lunacy that hurts good people. as in beg for forgiveness for the hell they make peoples lives.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Scalia emulated the Pope and resigned?
