Scalia Decries Drift of Court On Religion: U.S. Tradition Not Neutral, Justice Tells Torah Sages

In a speech delivered last night from a dais on which he was surrounded by venerable, bearded rabbis dressed in black and wearing elegant hats, Justice Scalia drew a sharp distinction between America and Europe. But he decried what he saw as the Supreme Court's prevailing, if recent, jurisprudence that holds that government "cannot favor religion over nonreligion."

"That rule does not, of course, represent the American tradition," Justice Scalia said.

From the banquet hall at the Midtown Hilton, Justice Scalia spoke on the occasion of the annual dinner of the Agudath Israel of America. In attendance were hundreds of fervently Orthodox Jews. The police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, was present on the dais, too, seated three places away from the justice.

Members of the audience appeared so pleased to meet the justice that, during a smaller reception beforehand, a bodyguard from the U.S. Marshals Service called on people to allow Justice Scalia more space, as a crowd four people deep quickly enveloped him.

Before his speech, Justice Scalia tucked into a plate of salmon over noodles, even as a veteran Supreme Court advocate and Harvard Law classmate of his, Nathan Lewin, introduced the justice in a speech recorded in Fez, Morocco, and played across several screens throughout the banquet hall. The transmission of the speech was marred, making sections unintelligible and prompting Justice Scalia, who rarely turns down an opportunity for a quip, to exclaim that Mr. Lewin was "an easy act to follow."

1. How did this dumbfuck ever become a Supreme Court Justice?...nt

Sid

[FarLeftRage]

3. Put there by that dumb fuck ray-gun

who was put in office by those dumb fuck americans who voted for the piece o' shit.

[Thothmes]

5. Confirmed for the Court by a Democratically controlled

Senate at the time.

[FarLeftRage]

6. T'is True

BUT, my point was that ray-gun nominated the pr*ck and the americans that were dumb enough to vote for ray-gun are indirectly responsible for the dumb fuck scalia being a USSC "justice"....

[Thothmes]

9. And what about a Democratic controlled Senate

that confirmed the man to the court.

[FarLeftRage]

11. And what about it???

You'll notice that I'm not saying anything about them, simply by virtue of the fact that if I don't have anything positive to say about their involvement, I am not going to say anything at all.

However, if you want to assign blame on anyone and everyone who was involved in sh*thead scalia and the way to his present occupation, then you could go all the way and blame those who voted for that "Democratic controlled Senate" at that time. Why, I suppose you could even blame yourself for voting for that "Democratic controlled Senate" at that time... that is, if you voted for them.

[Thothmes]

12. You said it, I did not.

[Dogtown]

8. Not dumb (imho)

A liar. A betrayer of his oath. A cynical, conniving aid-to-thieves insinuated into our justice system to deny just that.

These people (well, except for their current front-man) aren't lacking intelligence; merely conscience and morals.

2. "...... U.S. Marshals Service called on people to allow Justice Scalia more space ....."
