Justice Scalia On The Record

Celebrities – Not many Supreme Court justices become famous, but Antonin Scalia is one of the few. Known as "Nino" to his friends and colleagues, he is one of the most brilliant and combative justices ever to sit on the court and one of the most prominent legal thinkers of his generation.

Who wants to mix sex and spam? I mean, I could see maybe some chocolate or some whipped cream with your sex, but spam? "Oooh baby, you taste like salted pork products"

They don't make many like Scalia any more.

If the Democrats (shudder) win the presidency this year, I hope that Scalia remains in good health.

It seems that Satan gives all his minions fairly good health in exchange for their souls.

That's bad news, then - Scalia is a judicial saint.

One of my hero's, Judge Antonin Scalia, I'd love to be able to meet and speak with him. Judge Scalia is a great American. Thanks for posting and sending this to me, libsRfunny.

Antonin Scalia is the type of S C Justices Sen McCain will nominate when he is President. Recently the S C up held the Photo Id for voters in Indiana, That will prevent most vote fraud. Now if we can get a clear ruling on the 2nd amendment in June we can begin to undo a lot of the unconstitutional liberal laws from the last 40 years.

I didn't think a supreme court justice courted fame. He is "infamous" not famous.

He's great and spanks the Libs when they act like naughty children. I heard him give a speech shortly after his elevation to the Court and he's brilliant.

any clown stealing your money right out of your pocket would sound brilliant to you if they did it while whining about liberals.

Scalia is the original activist.

Scalia is the liar who said Al Gore brought the 2000 election to the courts, when everybody knows it was the Bush campaign who filed suit first to deny our right to vote. While continuing to try to rewrite history, Scalia hypocritically attacks those who criticize his judicial activism in the 2000 election. This is typical Scalia.

"Thomas voted to overturn precedent 23 times and Justice Scalia 19 times, while the court's four liberals did so in 10 cases or fewer."

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/11/opinion/11mon...

Thomas and Scalia are competing to see who can be the #1 judicial activist on the bench. The liberal judges aren`t even in the same league.

A completely moronic statement.

lmao.

Bush sued to deny the legal recount. What part of that don`t you still get after all these years?

Scalia lied about it on TV just two days ago in an interview. What part of that reality do you want to deny?

Scalia lied. Too much truth for you, obviously.

Psst, what flavor is the kool-aid today?

You would think so dropkick - I'm not surprised.

He keeps the Libs in check. Listen to his wisdom and learn. Scalia was in the minority for the infamous Imminent Domain case and I like that. I think that those on both ends of the political spectrum should consider that.

It`s his outright lies and hypocrisy that I find most entertaining and witty.

Scalia`s originalism is his excuse for being the original activist.

Using this approach, they conclude the most "activist" member of the Court is Justice Scalia, and the most "restrained" is Justice Stephen Breyer.

http://www.volokh.com/posts/1193244832.shtml

Scalia was the swing vote to uphold the federal government's prerogative to go after medical consumers of homegrown pot, on the grounds that this activity supposedly affects interstate commerce. This ruling prompted Thomas to note in a caustic dissent, "If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything--and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers."

"Rather than look at constitutional cases, or challenges to statutes, they looked at challenges to federal agency actions, judging a justice to be "activist" based upon how often he or she votes to overturn an agency decision."

You're joking right??? They looked at challenges to federal agency actions????

Actions taken by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats?? That makes him an activist??

They see Breyer as "restrained" because he is willing to let unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats make decisions??

That is just bizarre!

His more 'liberal' decisions:

1. support for the Court's holding that flag burning is a form of political expression protected under the First Amendment

2. dissent from the majority of the Court when it upheld the validity of a mandatory drug-testing program for customs employees, explaining that in his view it violated the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures.
