Discussion for article #237899
He went on to call Justice Anthony’s Kennedy’s majority opinion, “couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic.”
And he knows whereof he speaks.
Hey Scalia, take your Opus Dei dogmas and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS.
You are on the Supreme Court to uphold the United States Constitution, not your personal RELIGION.
(asshole)
Project much, jerk?
Scalia’s calling someone pretentious and egotistical is about like Christie calling someone fat.
Can a justice be impeached for being an intemperate imbecile?
He was educated, too, correct? So, by his own, um, ‘reasoning,’ that means he doesn’t have the right to make a ruling either, right? Is he saying that every educated lawyer should be forbidden from ruling on every legal matter, or just those legal matters related to marriage? Does he somehow want to populate the court with uneducated lawyers? How would one even become a lawyer without an education? I’m confused.
But then, I’ve been confused by him for years, so nothing new there.
So…on the subject of egotism.
It would be amusing if Scalia started pissing off the conservative judges he’s been ripping in his dissent to the extent that they start getting more liberal out of spite.
I mean, if there’s one thing we know conservatives have in abundance it is spite afterall.
Having being overruled on both the ACA and legal same sex marriages, Justice Froggie’s had a bad week.
Wow, as vicious and hateful a pol as any on the dysfunctional far right. A disgrace this pig is on the highest court in the land. We have a bad actor to thank.
Pressure is building… When will he pop?
Calling the Supreme Court a “strikingly unrepresentative character of the body voting on today’s social upheaval,” he decried the fact that all nine justices were all Harvard or Yale educated, mostly from the East Coast, and lacking in a Evangelical Christian or Protestant.
Or an atheist, … or muslim… just saying…
Scalia is 1/9 of the SCOTUS, which over represents the knuckle-dragger constituency.
Had to be gazing in a mirror while he argle-bargled and poked his jiggery.
Shorter Scalia : Law, shmaw. I have an ideological agenda that the others are preventing me from carrying out.
Seems Scalia is suggesting a more diverse court would have produced a different verdict? Not sure he knows what “diversity” actually means. I guess words have no meaning any more…
I think the SCOTUS should be more diverse as well. Do we really need 1/3 of them to be Tea Partiers?
Did he get around to saying anything about why, or if, the majority’s legal reasoning was faulty? I just saw a bunch of blah blah tradition blah blah not representative blah blah. His consternation seems to have made him confused about how the court is chosen and what it’s supposed to do.
I look forward to seeing the majority opinions in which this dissent is used against Nino “The Bloviator” Scalia. He sure as hell does not know how to win friends or influence people.
It sucks to lose, dosent it Justice Scalia…
