Do you agree with E.J. Dionne that Justice Antonin Scalia should resign?

33. I don't LIKE Scalia, but the 19% might have a point.

From a friend: "...Why should the third branch of government be required to be silent? Sure, the Justices aren't supposed to be swayed by public opinion (though they may be) but nothing says they are forbidden from swaying public opinion. Their entire function is to sway public opinion. To iterate, re-iterate, outline, define, and opine what *justice* means in America. The reason they write majority opinions and minority dissents is to explain and sway.

The article says 'he sounded just like an Arizona Senate candidate' and maybe he did but with one amazingly significant difference. He isn't running for Senate or anything for that matter. His position is secured. There are no tea party votes and no campaign funds to be built. He's just being him and he has a right to be that."
