    Scalia is a piece of crap.

    I'm happy he is willing to go out into public to talk about his views as it gives everyone a chance to see what scum he is. Here's a recent interview 60 minutes did where Justice Scalia justifies torturing suspects and claims that "torture isn't a punishment" and so therefor torturing people doesn't violate the Constitution's prohibition against cruel or unusual punishment. I especially hate his stupid self satisfied grin at the end of the interview.

    His so obviously partisan in everything he does (just look at the Gore vs Bush case in 2000) and Scalia is so willing to go to any lengths of twisting and contorting in order to help out his political friends. It's disgusting.

    It's like Randy Newman said. They needed a black guy and an Italian on the Supreme Court, so they managed to find the most tight ass unrepresentative Italian and black guy in America.

      Yeah, what a nutjob! Obviously, nine appointed-for-life lawyers should write our laws and re-write the constitution at will. Actually, why bother with the constitution? It's redundant in the face of the god-like wisdom of modern jurists.

        Uh... me thinks Oerdin doesn't actually really know Scalia's views. Let's check out the dissenting opinion in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld first of all.

          Yeah, I hate it when laws are enforced correctly. You realize this comment is funny given you are trying to paint someone else as partisain with it, right?

            It's worth bearing in mind that it works against him too. He's been downright savage to O'Connor and Souter in previous opinions, and I'm sure that lack of diplomatic tact, coupled with his utter disinterest in building any sort of consensus, has come back to bite him more than once. Even if he's the darling of conservatives, the man will never make Chief Justice because he's simply too polarizing.

            Heck, they even decided to promote Roberts to CJ before him!

            Also, Scalia can pimp. Evidence at 0:22s.

              I have to say that Scalia's opinions make for the most interesting reads especially if he's dissenting.

                If your gonna have a Ginsberg, then you need a Scalia.

                  Whenever I know he's in the dissent, that makes it much more likely that I'll actually read it. Some of the language he uses is a welcome change from the formal dull boring SCOTUS legalese.

                    I'm fairly certain he's the law student's favorite Justice regardless of political stripe.

                      I know he claims to be an original textualist who wants to try to figure out what the original founders wanted etc...

                      My point in what you quoted is that Scalia has a track record of sometimes being extremely partisan. That doesn't mean every case he's taken is identical but his actions in the 2000 gore/bush case were slimmy as can be.

                        And he actually is one.

                        You do realize that many Republicans take the view that justices like Ginsberg are extremely partisan too, right? It doesn't necessarily help matters in Bush v. Gore that the vote was 7-2 in regards to equal protection issues, but 5-4 in the remedy.

                          The problem with Scalia is that he is against a living constitution. Apparently he thinks we should instead adopt a new one every fifty years as happens in other countries with inflexible constitutions.

                            Or perhaps use the Ammendment process instead of reading into the document things that aren't there?

                              It's too difficult to get changes through that way. We'd still have segregation if we had to use the Amendment process.
