Just the other day I was reading an article about the U.S. Supreme Court and saw that Scalia was the longest serving current member. And I thought perhaps it was time for him to go! Did I kill Justice Scalia? ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

no its not.  You make your bed, you lie in it. Racists and bigots loved him, those that think that couching discrimination in terms of what the founding father MAY have thought 250 odd years ago rejoyce.------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I heard of this when Raff and I were on our way to the Orion and listened to talk radio on the drive up. bank it... the locals here have the pulse and already talked to the pols. Obama won't get his nomination confirmed, even if a moderate. They'll stall and delay hoping to win in November and use this a crutch to 'get out the vote' ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm sure he has loved ones that will miss him and that is sad, but as far as his work goes I can't say I miss him terribly. Unfortunately the republicans are probably already moving to block any all nominations on the basis of "OBUMMWER IS THE ANITCRHISTIS SCREW HIMSMSM~!!~!!!1112" so that just makes the election all the more important. I do doubt Clinton's sincerity, but both her and Sanders have promised to only make sure they only appoint someone who will overturn Citizens United. |

No, you didn't kill him. From what I've read by tinfoil-hat wearing Tea-baggers is it was a huge left-wing conspiracy promulgated by that known Muslim anti-Christ Obama, who flew down to Texas personally and put arsenic in Scalia'a iced tea. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Best line I've heard is that Thomas needs to match him. Geeze we lost so many musicians this year it's about time we lost a true political hack.
My favored joke name for him is Scalier. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The founding fathers were racists though, so he was probably interpreting it according to their wishes. ------------- http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/ wtf |

I give them a get out of Mick-jail free card.. they were products of their environment.. and the times. as was a literal interpretation of the constitution.. today's racists and bigots of course will see the Constitution as their Bible.. their legal excuse to continue to try to perpetuate bigotry and racism onto this country via the legal system. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I wasn't gloating.. just expressing that I was happy the son of a bitch left the court before he could rule on one more single case. Retirement.. death.. didn't matter to me. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Just odd that you easily slide into that stance while you rage at other people if they do the same when a politician whose policies you agree with dies. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |
