In reply to the discussion: Justice Scalia Tells Law Students ‘Perhaps You Should Revolt’ If Taxes Become Too High [View all]Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)A sitting Justice needs to give great deference to the political process.
This goon and I mean goon in the mold of the Italian mafia is a disgrace. I would say the same if he was in the mold of the KKK, etc. so this is NOT a racial attack but rather a recognition that he is behaving much like others that share his ethnicity.
A judge or, especially a Justice, is to refrain from engaging in speech or actions that are intended to be political or may have the appearance of being political. We know after Bush v. Gore that many on the current Court have little respect for this precedent or this mandate.
One cannot have an independent judiciary if the members engage in public, political speech.
Both Scalia and Thomas should resign or be removed for cause. Unfortunately we will likely have to wait until age does its work and they are no longer able to serve.
