It’s long, long, LONG past time for Scalia to go. First he decided it would be a violation of GWB’s rights to count the votes against him. Then it was corporations are people and money is speech. I shudder to think what might be next.

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.

It could be worse! He could be Chief Justice! (Shudder!!!)

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.

Scalia’s true concern is less about “racial entitlement” than it is about making sure his fellow Republicans are entitled. Entitled, that is, to manipulate elections when they can no longer win fair and square.

I think many of the voices in blogs like these prove beyond doubt that the Voting Rights Act needs expansion more than contraction.

@David
A federal set of standaeds is in order, with true district representation.
The recent gerrymandering of distrusts, lack of a verifiable papertrail with voting machines, blantant roadblocks created to stop us from voting early are just a few of the examples of why we need the voters rights protected from special interests.

Interesting look at election finance, make sure you expand the donors lists for Superpacs.

Scalia is a racist hater of equal rights for people of color, or gender. We can only hope that President Obama gets to replace the worst member of the Racist Robert’s Court of Jesters.
