Discussion for article #242921
He argued that it instead should be up to the democratic process to determine which minority groups deserve legal protections.
So I guess he'd be OK if a majority of citizens voted to deny LGBT persons the right to vote?
Great analogy! Except for one involving a minor below the age of consent and the other…y’know…not.
Asshole.
wow, and this piece of ambulatory human excrement fancies himself The Ultimate Constitutional Scholar Who Possesses The Truth.
Under his formulation, Brown v Board of Education would never have happened. Nor Loving v Virginia.
The only SC justice worse than him is Clarence Thomas.
Our ISIL Justice…This fat filth needs to be drummed off the Court. He’s a disgrace as he feeds his brand of hateful political meat to his dogs for an election season he’s already helped into the deep slime.
The most troubling thing is he conflates Pedophilia with homosexuality. He is supposed to be an educated man. It’s quite embarrassing. No one is arguing that Pedophiles have equal protection. Scalia changed the debate topic. What about a heterosexual pedophile do they get equal protection?
You think a Catholic would be a lot more careful about tossing the word “pedophile” around so carelessly.
Nope, not a dime’s worth of difference between letting Hillary choose his successor in the sad, sad event his seat suddenly opens up and any of the Republicans. No reason for young people and minorities to even bother voting unless Bernie wins the nomination.
If a first year law student made those arguments he would be laughed at.
I’m sure Hillary will make that point early and often. Anything else would be criminally irresponsible.
Of course he would.
but he would’ve approved Plessy vs Ferguson… because… you know… 3/5 of a person doesn’t have rights and the majority approved property rights…
He argued that it instead should be up to the democratic process to determine which minority groups deserve legal protections.
And by democratic process he means super packs.
And by democratic process he means super packs
Fox viewers would do.
He’s intentionally using an inflammatory image and directing it at the low info Kim Davis crowd…‘Justice’ seems inappropriate before Scalia’s name.
Retire already.
And this is why this asshole has no business being on the highest Court in the land. Same was said in similar ways about black people at one time. We need a new law to impeach a sitting SCOTUS justice when their mind shows clear evidence of going to shit. The man is either a bigot, sick or entering a new stage of dementia…Perhaps all three. Inappropriate cruel jokes using his over-inflated ego and batshit-crazy reasoning, is a dead giveaway…and all at the expense of real people, who are already the target of such extreme hate crimes. This type of talk by Scalia only fans the flames of this type of bigotry.
Impeach this fucking bigot.
IT Should. WHY should UNELEcted OFFICIaLs LEGISlate My hate FROM the BENch? I want TO BE free FROM THE shackles OF LBGT Tyranny!!11!1!!~!one!1!!!
You know what’s even more mind-boggling to me than Scalia’s obvious but already well-known bigotry?
Log Cabin Republicans.
But… but…but… Hillary’s a war-monger and a subservient tool of Wall Street and hates the middle class and Black Lives Matter also too!
