If the Supreme Court announces a controversial ruling on a case
brought before that body, you can count on Justice Antonin Scalia to
consistently be on the wrong side of history. He was wrong about Gore v Bush, he was wrong about Citizens United, and
in the past couple of days he's been wrong on affirmative action and
the repeal of vital sections of the Voting Rights Act, and yesterday he
had a shit-fit of a dissent over the Court's decision to invalidate the
Defense of Marriage Act in favor of gay marriage.
...(His dissent on DOMA failing) Yesterday's ruling on gay marriage rights is a perfect example
of why Scalia will go down in history as one of America's worst Supreme
Court Justices.
Antonin Scalia is a perfect example of what an activist jurist
looks like. He twists and contorts his version of the Constitution to
suit whatever conservative cause is at risk, and refuses to see himself
as a partisan hack.
