Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is now actively calling for disobeying the government, as during a recent speech he told students that if taxes get too high, they should revolt.
According to CBSDC:
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia told a crowd of law school students that if taxes in the U.S. become too high then people should revolt.
Speaking at the University of Tennessee College of Law on Tuesday, the longest-serving justice currently on the bench was asked by a student about the constitutionality of the income tax, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
Scalia responded that the government has the right to implement the tax, but if it reaches a certain point, perhaps you should revolt.
When a sitting Supreme Court justice tells anyone to revolt against their government, thats a problem. It is difficult to tell if Scalia was snarky or serious, but with his record, and loyal service to the Koch brothers its likely that he was serious.
Last year, Democrats introduced a bill that would have opened the door to impeachment for Justices Scalia and Thomas. Democrats are seeking mandatory ethics rules for all Supreme Court justices. Scalia and Thomas have been frequently featured guests at Koch conferences. Their conflict of interest involving campaign finance laws has been obvious, but neither justice has felt the need to recuse themselves from these cases.
