US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Is A Racist POS!

[Flaming Pie]

TLDR version?

Lol. I need to come back later and reread.

 

[Flaming Pie]

When you read his opinions, it's very interesting. I had to read them when taking Constitution Law, and sometimes I'd sit there and be like, "It makes total sense, I can see where he's coming from, and I fucking hate him for making me agree with him when I know I don't want to." Lol.

Expand?

 

[pnwmystery]

Expand?

I don't like his interpretation of the Constitution, but the way he lays out his arguments can be or are sometimes convincing or do make sense (if you look at them in a certain way). There are multiple ways and different theories to interpret law/the US constitution. I just feel like his way of looking at it is antiquated.

You mean you were paid well to march in Ferguson as a plant?

I know, you did every thing you could to stop these thugs from destroying their own kin's businesses and cities as they looted and burned the place down, right? All in the name of "justice" of course.

Jealous of Scalia because he has the balls to say what everyone knows is spot on?

What does everyone know is spot on?

 

[spandy]

This man makes me sick to be an American today.

Stopped reading. Suggest you leave if being an American is so sickening to you.

Now I'll go back and read.

This thread is one of only a handful of reasons why I give a shit who wins the presidency... Supreme Court appointments. Shit like this and the Citizens United ruling.

I'd love to see Scalia choke on a chicken bone while a Democrat is in office and be replaced by an ultra liberal Justice.

Fuck wishing for chicken bones and accidents. They need term limits.

Agreed, but as it stands I'm holding out hope for the chicken bone...

You know that fat fuck doesn't chew his food.

Ehh... historically Justices have actually had a liberal shift the longer they've been on the bench with the exception of Rehnquist. There are a lot of good arguments for not imposing term limits on Justices, such as allowing them to exercise independent judicial review and not be subject to facing being elected by Congress, or allowing Federal judges from lower courts to lobby/rule in ways to make themselves favorable for the Supreme Court. Then again there are a lot of arguments for it, but mostly you see either the left or right begin to call for this when SCOTUS rules in a way they don't like.

Yes, I remember many of these arguments from many classes on the subject in high school and college- my way of saying I don't think I know very much about the subtleties of the debate.

I still think that SCOTUS needs a term limit. ONE appointment to the bench, they get twelve years or retire anytime- and in return for immunity from prosecution from their time on the bench, they turn in their license to practice law. Forever. And of course they should get a middle class pension, just like every other government official should get. No one should be retiring on a government pension that's FIVE TIMES THE MEDIAN WAGE.

What readings make you agree with Scalia ?

It's been a bit, but not so much agree with as I can see how his argument makes sense and/or is valid from a legal sense.

 

[Red1966]

Lol, not your comment, what his words mean to people in the black community.

I've resolved not to assume that I know what they're thinking and instead ask people whose opinions I respect on the matter.

Those who agree with you are the only ones you listen to. No matter how foolish their statements are, you assume they are gospel. This is why you are generally wrong about everything.

Ironic that you say that.

You're another one with the same "fact-checking" technique.

You sure do hate facts, don't you.

Actually, it appears that he hates anyone who has an I.Q. that is over 100.
