Your Supreme Court Justice Is Not a Crook

"‘For Pete's sake, if you can't trust your Supreme Court justice more than that, get a life!’ [Antonin Scalia] said Wednesday, replying to an audience member at the University of Connecticut who asked about Scalia's refusal last year to sit out a case involving his hunting partner, Vice President Cheney.” Once Again, Scalia's the Talk of the Town, By Charles Lane

"‘I think the proudest thing I have done on the bench is not allow myself to be chased off that case,’ Scalia said.

Holding on to the opportunity to do judicial favors for a crony is Scalia’s proudest moment on the Court? Wow, is that scary, and it might even be true. After all, what else has he done? Stolen a presidential election from the people. Labored mightily to demolish the wall of separation between church and state. A little help for Dick Cheney seems almost inoffensive by comparison.

With U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay retiring from the field, the Republican Party will need someone else to serve as its official enforcer, and there’s no reason he can’t be in the judicial branch instead of the legislative. Scalia certainly seems mean enough and unprincipled enough for the job. He may well inherit DeLay’s old title, The Hammer. In recognition of his position, they could change it to The Gavel."
