"To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself." - Scalia, in <em>Employment Division v. Smith</em> (1990)

"Screw that noise. We gotta put the hurting on the womenfolk." - Scalia, today.

And OUR Supreme Court keeps bitch-slapping our fucking right-wing douche of a Prime Minister, even though many of them were appointed by him. <a href="http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/national\/supreme-court-expands-aboriginal-title-rights-in-unanimous-ruling\/article19347252\/" target="_blank">Latest example</a>. But if we can't unite the left-wing parties and kick Harper out next year, we are fuuuucked.
