"the same diseased root"

[DainBramaged]

Scalia:


“We have no power to decide this case. And even if we did, we have no power under the Constitution to invalidate this democratically adopted legislation. The Court’s errors on both points spring forth from the same diseased root: an exalted conception of the role of this institution in America.”


I've got a diseased root for you pal.....

1. Amazing how this doesn't apply to yesterdays ruling.

Diseased root indeed.

3. Exactly. They all just twist their logic to fit their dogma.

2. Scalia has always wanted to replace the constitution

with his own ridiculously biased and inaccurate reading of the bible. He simply can't comprehend a nation of laws that doesn't answer to a pope or a book written by Bronze Age nomads.

He is unfit. I wish there was a way to remove him.

7. When they were elected/selected they put their hand on a Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution

hot their hand on the Constitution to swear to uphold the bible.

9. Well, that's what confused them, then.

Maybe they need to leave the bibles out of future swearing in ceremonies to avoid this sort of muddle.

4. Now ask yourself what that means...

Scalia has a nasty habit of trying to sound poetic and insulting whenever he's losing an argument and doesn't have any legal backup. In essence, this little diatribe means little more than the majority pissed in his Wheaties and he wants to throw a temper tantrum.
