Given his position, has there ever been a more dangerous jackass in American history

..than Antonin Scalia? Not only is this man an asshole, he's a total fucking moron. Sorry, but I have yet to see an opinion of his that conforms to a second-graders concept of logic. Remember how he interpreted the Equal Protection Clause in Bush v. Gore? That compelling a continued recount would harm the "presumptive winner" (sic)?
I thought Donald Trump was King Jackass, but at least he doesn't sit on the highest court in the land.

Remember how he flipped off reporters with some Italian gesture more suitable for a mafiosi? Fingertips brushing his chin. That was back in the early bush years.

I protested him when he came to Princeton to speak. I made a giant sign about 5' across and 4' high which I took on the train to the protest. I loved it when he looked out the window and saw me standing there under the lamp post with my sign that read Tony "The Fixer" Scalia.
