The law is not a popularity contest. It was not put in place to reinforce your self-esteem. The only people who had a problem with Scalia were individuals who do not understand this. They felt that his refusal to bend the law to suit their fleeting and degenerate whims was somehow wrong. This is not true. Justice Scalia was a thoughtful person whose legal work was based on sound thinking. He based his decisions on constitutionality, nothing more. He did not allow anything to taint his legal decisions. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow when your entire life has been a participation trophy ceremony, but Antonin Scalia was a true patriot whose honorable service to the United States Supreme Court will not be forgotten. It really bothers me that people would dare celebrate his death. It is disgusting.

I think he did a good job at interpreting the law based around his gay are pretty gross worldview

I want Ted Cruz on SCOTUS.

Having this man, who every human being viscerally hates instinctively within 1 hour of meeting him, appointed for life and forever denied the presidency and the position of chief justice in one fell swoop - I just imagine all conservative justices swinging left after seeing their ideology put in front of them in a very ugly, nasty mirror.

You just said you don't want courts to get involved. I think all that Liberal MSM junk has broken your brain. That's why we need men like Scalia. He knew the law and was consistent. He was never a wishy-washy flip-flopper.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, in 2005, defending the absolute right of a sitting president to nominate judges.

quote:

The Constitution of the United States is at stake. Article II, Section 2 clearly provides that the President, and the President alone, nominates judges. The Senate is empowered to give advice and consent. But my Democratic colleagues want to change the rules. They want to reinterpret the Constitution to require a supermajority for confirmation. In effect, they would take away the power to nominate from the President and grant it to a minority of 41 Senators.
