i'd rather have a scalia on the court than any of you idiots who think judges can rule recklessly and not have it blow back over time

i'd rather have a judge with some concern for human dignity on the court than any of the bigots who moralize sexuality and equates it to murder

So rape is no longer an immoral act? I would hate to moralize sexuality. That would make me a bigot.

Let the court decide, thankfully Scalia can't give his opinion on this one.

Please describe what possible context there could be to justify the time when he used the plot of an episode of the TV show 24 to justify torture, TIA.

Isnt there some loophole where a spj doesnt have to be a lawyer or is that just some judges?

The loophole is that you're picked by the President and the Senate has to confirm you. There are no educational requirement, but you'd hope that people are smart enough to properly vet a person before approving a life appointment to the highest court in the country that directly effects the abilities of the other two branches of government.

Then again, we have had a sitting President that was never actually elected by the voters of the US so anything could happen.
