If Kerry wins he should have Scalia swear him in on inaugural day

[WI_DEM]

hahaha.

Actually a president can have any Justice do it if he requests it--doesn't have to be the Chief, but we all know that Scalia hopes to be Chief Justice and with Kerry in--it won't happen. Also Scalia was the mastermind behind Bush v. Gore in 2000.

Sweet Revenge--swearing in President Kerry.

:)

1. That would be priceless.....

[maine_raptor]

Actually any US Federal Judge can swear in a Prez.

5. That's right; Johnson was sworn in that way...

2. He should request Stevens - author of the eloquent BushvGore dissent.

Much more fitting and it would burn Scalia just as much.

edit: spelling.

9. I thought Ginsburg authored the dissent? n/t

[glitch]

11. Stevens, Ginsberg and Breyers joining

I'd love to see them all swear him in!

3. What a priceless thought! One quibble with your OP:

You meant "when", not "if"....

[Jacobin]

4. Scalia needs to be impeached, tried and jailed for the

2000 coup d'etat.

I certainly hope he is no where NEAR Kerry's inauguration

6. Swear, and then grab the bible out of Nino's hands and brain him with it.

7. A priceless moment?

Throwing the 2000 election and appoint *: Priceless

Going hunting with the VP whose case you are presiding over: priceless

Seeing your jumping boy ousted via a fair election and having to swear in his competitor: one big suck job.

Aww tough shit scalia, next time use Democracy! It's worked for 200+ years, it will save this nation again.
