Scalia Mocks Sotomayor - For Expressing Concern For Human Beings-Left Sitting In Their Own Feces

[kpete]

Scalia Mocks Sotomayor’s Compassion For ‘People Sitting in Their Feces for Days in a Dazed State’

.......

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Well, the best interest of the State of California, isn’t it to deliver adequate constitutional care to the people that it incarcerates? That’s a constitutional obligation.

MR. PHILLIPS: Absolutely. And California recognizes that.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: So when are you going to get to that? When are you going to avoid the needless deaths that were reported in this record? When are you going to avoid or get around people sitting in their feces for days in a dazed state? When are you going to get to a point where you are going to deliver care that is going to be adequate?

JUSTICE SCALIA: Don’t be rhetorical.

7. Poverty, misery, wrongful convictions are all rhetorical to the elite

all a figment of your imagination

8. Scalia -- the big "Christian" ... also tried to bully and intimidate Sandra Day O'Connor ....

telling her she didn't have the "guts" to overturn Roe vs Wade --

Scalia is a disgusting little man -- in every and any way you can measure him!

9. Lesson from reading cases in law school: Scalia is a horse's ass

I'm sure that I'm not alone in that sentiment. The guy is inflexible and, often, totally impractical with his opinions.

[pacalo]

15. Right-wing lawmakers warned all judges against empathy, which accounts for his

for his impractibility.

[Laelth]

22. Indeed, you are not alone in that sentiment.

I would also add that he's deeply hypoctitical, playing the states' rights card when it suits his masters' interests and then ignoring states' rights when he needs to install a President that his masters like, i.e. Bush v. Gore. I have no respect for him or his opinions.

10. More quotes

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: People told me that you were a piece of shit and I told them they were wrong.
I need to apologize. I am sorry that you are a piece of shit.

11. Yeah, well, Scalia also thinks actual innocence is less important than formal process in capital

cases. He would prefer that hacks in state legislators choose our senators by cutting deals in smoke-filled back rooms, instead of people voting directly for the senators. And he believes that once a legislature allow corporations to exist, with all the various legislated corporate privileges and immunities, the legislature loses the ability to restrict corporations, which Scalia somehow confuses with natural persons

In short, he's an authoritarian, whose sympathies lie entirely with an elite and powerful few

[soryang]

12. When you get rhetorical in the courtroom, it underscores...

...the unresponsive nature of our government. Let's not have that.

[madrchsod]

13. no wonder his daughter is an alcoholic ....

living with him must have taken it`s toll on her.

[dflprincess]

14. Apparently Fat Tony managed to skip Catechism everytime the nuns

discussed the Corporal Works of Mercy.

He also probably missed the day the sister explained that you may be able to fool the priest you confess to, but you can't fool God about your sins.

16. Those 3 women are smater than he is

and I am betting they will do something to him that will blow his mind.

17. The Don of the court strikes again!

:puke:

18. I'd tell him to ST*U and not interrupt me!!

[UTUSN]

19. K&R #16 for, disgusting!1 n/t

20. Now we see why Clarence Thomas sucks up to Scalia

Two peas in a pod

[MurrayDelph]

21. I guess he sees nothing wrong with people having to sit in feces

because of where his head has been up for so much of his life.
