Antonin Scalia is a shit head

[HughMoran]

Just watched TDS replaying his 60 minutes remarks. It's stunning to me that this mindless right-wing maggot is actually a SC Justice.

That is all.

[Poll_Blind]

1. .

:thumbsup:

PB

[evlbstrd]

2. Yep.

K & R.

[jobycom]

3. Yes. Yes he is. nt

[Moochy]

4. Makes you realize why they dont give interviews very often

Especially that gasbag.

[HughMoran]

8. The gall of this clown is stunning to me

I can't comprehend how he can give an interview in the first place, never mind spew utterly mindless RW talking points like "get over it". This man should be seriously punished in the history books for doing something so utterly inappropriate.

[marmar]

5. Scalia and Thomas collectively have seven brain cells......

:dunce: :dunce:

[featherman]

6. Scalia is quite bright actually but uses his intelligence for evil

A very, very dangerous man

[panader0]

7. Now that's a post title I just have to click on.

9. What do you expect from someone who can say this:

"Mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached."
-- Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, First Clinically Insane Member of the Supreme Court

[HughMoran]

11. Not merely "Clinically insane", criminally insane

This idiot would probably be in jail for murder if he hadn't somehow weaseled his hateful mindless ass onto the supreme court.

[Graybeard]

15. Where in the Constitution does it say that executions have to be painless?

During the capital punishment arguments Fat Tony actually asked that question! This is a very sick individual.

[B3Nut]

32. He's like the second coming of Torquemada.

No wonder he likes the current pontiff. He's a very sick, deranged individual.

[southerncrone]

10. So you're just now realizing this?

He is the poster child of neocons. THAT'S why he's a SCJ!

[HughMoran]

12. He gave the most INAPPROPRIATE interview for a person in his position I've ever seen

He should be impeached for stating such mindless right-wing positions on a television show.

He's stepped over the line and needs to be severely punished.

[Usrename]

19. He should be impeached for not recusing himself in the Cheney case.

That's the kind of "in your face" criminal cronyism that everyone can understand, Democrat or Republican. It would be good political strategy to go after him on that Cheney connection, mainly because Cheney's numbers are so far in the toilet. I'd love to see either of them try to get anyone to come to their defense while this was being tried in the Senate.

And... Cheney would HAVE to testify!!!

Gotta love it. Darth, ...did you have an "overnighter" with Scalia while he was deliberating on your case?!!!

I'm not kidding.

[Kitty Herder]

23. Cheney and Scalia should be bound by law to stay a safe distance from each other,

for fear of creating a critical mass of evil and ripping the very fabric of space-time. That kind of concentration of evil is dangerous.

[HughMoran]

25. lol - I love that. "ripping the fabric of space-time"

If ever there was an evil energy force capable of creating such a phenomenon, the Cheney-Scalia effect would be studied by scientists for many many years.

[southerncrone]

21. Kinda like Cheney's "So?" comment?

[HughMoran]

22. Two hateful peas in a rotten pod

I actually cannot envision a circumstance where I would not spit in their faces given the opportunity.

[southerncrone]

27. I'd like to squish them both & grind them into the sidewalk.

Undoubtedly 2 of the most evil creatures to ever land on this planet.

If only we could rid ourselves of them.

[Thothmes]

28. If you check Constitution of the United States

stating mindless right-wing positions on a television show does not meet the standards for impeachment. Punished for speech? a rather Republican concept isn't it?

[HughMoran]

34. lol

I see some people would rather play gotcha than call a spade a spade :P

[Thothmes]

36. Spade is a Spade

granted. But tossing the Consitution out the window to suit personal preferences is what the Republicans do.

[HughMoran]

38. Yes sir

Scalia is a cretin and an embarassment and I would gladly see him impeached for not recusing himself in the Cheney matter. My feeling is that only a Republican would object to seeing this jackass impeached - but I'm biased - you may find others biased in this thread. In fact, you're the only one taking to "defending" Scalia against our "lynch mob" mentality - lol!

[Thothmes]

40. Where did I defend Scalia

I pointed out that desire or dislike for judicial decisions does not meet the standards required by our Constitution to remove the man from the bench.
This same type of BS that the Republicans were spewing in the early sixties calling for the impeachment of Chief Justice Earl Warren for making judicial decisions that they disliked.

[Initech]

13. Yup, there is no debate here.

What people dont realize (and what the MSM has yet to report) about this election is that there are at least 2 seats (one being that asshole's) that will probably be up for grabs during the next two terms. Getting a dem president will mean that we will get those seats!

[HughMoran]

14. How glorious would it be to have a Dem appoint his replacement?

That sounds almost as good as the celebration we're going to have when Bushole leaves office!

I certainly hope we can take the Presidency this fall

[Thothmes]

37. Big Tony is fairly young

The next probable appointments to the court will be to replace Ginsberg and Stevens, both in their 80s. Assuming a Democratic President appoints a liberal to replace both, that will not change the political right leaning of this court.

[Triana]

16. scum-bucket Scalia - egh n/t

18. Thanks for the link

Right wing hypocrites make me :puke:

[bemildred]

20. Indeed.

Our USSC has become a coterie of corrupt, ignorant weasels.

[Jamastiene]

24. No Shit, Sherlock.

You just now figuring that out?
:sarcasm: :P

I agree with you,. He's a total shit head.

[HughMoran]

26. :P

I'll tell you, I was thinking about what I would like to see on the greatest page beside the usual these days, and we have been so caught up in the primary battle BS that I thought maybe it was time for a good old "Bush sucks" thread (with a change of character). I'm psyched that this thread made it :D

[Jacobin]

29. Plus, he can't appoint presidents worth a shit

[Echo In Light]

31. LOL...even though it's hardly comical

33. "Justice Scalia, Do Your Manner and Tone Really Denote Fascism?"

http://smirkingchimp.com/thread/14332

For any international historian who had been away for a time either on another planet or taking a Rip Van Winkle style nap, how would that person find contemporary America?

That individual would have found the “60 Minutes” interview time that CBS generously bestowed on Chief Justice Antonin Scalia highly informative. He presented the term “originalist” as defining his philosophy on the U.S. Constitution, but after listening to him in detail the question would have to be asked whether what he presented is unstead unvarnished fascism.

The first point that would have to be questioned was when segment moderator Leslie Stahl referred to Scalia, without any supporting evidence, as “one of the most brilliant” jurists we ever had serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Where are his credentials to justify such a glowing introductory comment?

Earl Warren had as his enduring legacy Brown v. Board of Education and Baker v. Carr, both landmark decisions that positively changed the face of American education and legislative democracy. John Marshall, who served 34 years on the Court, in Marbury v. Madison presented the cornerstone principles of judicial review that shaped the Republic during succeeding years.

What type of legacy is Justice Scalia leaving behind? While Stahl took great pains to show how even those he disagrees with find him charming and his brilliance was noted in terms of straight A report cards and graduation from Harvard Law School, what emerged from the interview process was a curmudgeon who scowled, demeaned, and ducked the important questions.

[bdamomma]

35. another arrogant little shit.

I hope they all burn in hell.

[Elspeth]

39. Arrogant is the right word.

Cushy fucker.
