The bald eagle is a predator that rarely attacks dangerous or large prey, has a weak mating call, and eats mostly dead things and things it can steal from other predators. Yep, sounds about right. Also, Ben Franklin never argued for the turkey. It is true that he didn't like the bald eagle though: "For my own part. I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character. He does not get his living honestly ... besides he is a rank coward: The little king bird not bigger than a sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district."

In that case they've chosen a confounding sample: his face is just naturally quite punchable, which might skew their results.

During an early morning breakfast meeting for Right to Rise supporters in Washington last week, he predicted that the group’s investments in ads touting Bush’s biography and gubernatorial record will pay dividends once the electorate focuses on its choices.

My hatred for Scalia is pretty well-documented around here, I guess -- but I think it's kind of remarkable how I wind up hating him more every single time he opens his mouth. There must be something he's said in an opinion, or during oral argument, that doesn't make me want to squish his face with bolt-cutters, but damned if I've ever been able to find anything.

Procedural question: this was in oral arguments, right? So while that mess you posted is horrendously racist, and while I'm the last person to defend Scalia, is it necessarily fair to paint him as arguing this? Isn't part of oral arguments that the Justices throw out a bunch of arguments for the attorneys to respond to, or is it sort of understood that they're arguing their own point of view and just using briefs and such as sources?

There's a lot of headlines in Europe of attacks on Jewish people and antisemitism increasing because of Muslim immigrants and refugees. They'll probably start whipping that up here, despite all the pig heads left on mosques, and not long ago black churches were torched, but claims and hearsay rule now.

Oh, I'm absolutely certain that he is, because he's an rear end in a top hat and his saying something like this doesn't surprise me at all. I was just wondering about what the understanding is when a justice cites a brief or other source during oral arguments regarding whether they're playing devil's advocate or advancing an actual position. Edit: Yeah this basically answered my question: Mulva posted:Yes, he has a well documented history of holding personal opinions that are very consistent with this.
