They probably just know that people will also celebrate their deaths too, and this frightens them.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

That's not a great line, that's the same old hypocritical horseshit he's been pumping out for decades. He had no problem ramming stare decisis up the rear end when it suited his political leanings.

It's true that slow torture to death is a demonstrably poor way to gather reliable intelligence to save and aid american troops. The CIA wants it to stop, because it is poo poo.
But let me tell you about that episode of the TV show 24 which I caught on Netflix one time...

it would normally not be fair to cheer the death of your political opponents, but the supreme court is a special occasion (having lifetime appointments). if he could be voted out of office then it would be a different matter, but the only way for him to leave was death.

if you get to enjoy a job with a lifetime appointment then you lose the privilege of people being decent about your death :colbert:

I'm not an expert and I'm sure there were a couple exceptions but he was not a hypocrite and extremely consistent. Like, dude had very well reasoned internally consistent reasons for all the beliefs that made him a complete rear end in a top hat.

quote:

The Texas senator Ted Cruz, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination who clerked in the supreme court while Scalia was on the bench, said on Twitter: “Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.”

yes the senate must block a constitutional process for 1/4th of a presidential term
