" Antonin Scalia 2010 " by Stephen Masker - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia . Licensed under CC BY 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons A smart-ass law professor decided to do A Serious Study on Supreme Court justices and sarcasm. You'll never guess who wins The Most Sarcastic Justice award:
"Contempt in the bar expanded from de Blasio to politicians in general. There was the sense that, as police, they believed themselves to hold an unquantifiable power over elected officials. The idea seemed to be that there was a pact between law enforcement and politicians. Cops did the dirty work, they waded in the muck, keeping the poor and violent in check and monitoring the human detritus that is the result of inequities they’d had no hand in creating. In return, politicians turned a blind eye to the excessive use of force. On the beat, cops could have their way."
Raymond Chandler from the 1930's or NYPD from 2015?
If I were a judge on any court of appeals, and it was the case that any dolt on the street could predict with 100% certainty how I'd rule on any issue, I'd be profoundly embarasssed (and a profoundly useless judge.) It doesn't seem to bother Scalia one bit.
He died unexpectedly in his sleep last night at 79 of apparent natural causes. NO tears will be shed for this ignorant and often vile homophobic and anti-gay ultra-conservative jerk ! He often tried to inject "religious dogma and insanity" into his decision making and rationale and we all know how dangerous that is ! His interpretation of the Constitution into law was one of strict adherence, according to his opinions and morals, of what the founding father's intentions were or would be today. Did one ever hear such shear and utter nonsense ? The Constitution was signed in 1787 and conceived of in in the 18th century. How can any social issues today (or any real issues, for that matter), be gauged by what men were thinking 229 years ago ? It is absolutely impossible and truly mindless to think in such a limited and moronic way. The world is different today than only 8 months ago. Same-sex marriage was illegal in most states before the Supreme Court found it Constitutional on June 27th 2015, and legalized it in every state. This dreg fought against that and wanted to also make abortion illegal, because in 1787 the founding fathers did not make provisions for these things. Hello ? He was obviously mentally-ill and will go down in history and just another religiously-fueled and ultra-conservative moron that did far more harm than good on the bench for the last 30 years. He did us a favor dying while Obama is still president. Ronald Reagan appointed this baboon; now it is Obama's turn in 2016 to put a justice up there with two feet firmly planted in the 21st century, that is secular, fair-minded, progressive and a decent human being. All the things Justice Antonin Scalia was not in life !
So true ! In death, people are now saying how great he was, however, truth be told, he was despised by many and many are glad he is gone under Obama's watch. He was an old dinmosaur from a long bygone era and the court and country will be far better off without him !
reps are always saying , Reagan Reagan ,, what a ..... joke , he was the worst , even worst than Nixon , just never got caught , people forget REAGANOMICS .. BUSH SR > I QUOTE VOO DOO ,, we will never get out of what the idiot did to us
Scalia seems nice.
Scalia - "Hey, it's hard work being an asshole."
2.75 on the sarcasm index. Impressive. I surprised Scalia doesn't get into blogging.
Say what you want about ball gags. Dude, at least it's a legacy.

Which one(s)?
Last several years, I've only gone in for funeral masses. Weddings are all outdoors, and/or at fancy resorts.
