Pushing Back

Have you noticed people are actually starting to stand up to these cretins?
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was asked Monday to stay out of a case involving a foreign detainee because of remarks Scalia made about the rights of enemy combatants.
Speaking at the University of Freiberg in Switzerland on March 8, Scalia said foreigners waging war against the United States have no rights under the Constitution.
Justices were hearing arguments Tuesday in the case of Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a former driver for Osama bin Laden. His lawyers argue that President Bush overstepped his authority when he ordered Hamdan and other alleged enemy combatants to face special military trials.
Hamdan’s lawyers have not called for Scalia to step aside. Instead, five retired generals who support Hamdan’s arguments sent a letter late Monday to the court with the request that Scalia withdraw from participating in the case. They say Scalia appears to have prejudged the case.
_Appears_ to have prejudged?
He’s already written the opinion.
Too bad Cheney’s aim was off when they were in the duck blind together.
I want this story to explode. I want to use and hear words like activist judges, and I want scalia’s true… errr… Sybilness to come through (esp as the model judge the right seeks).
I’m “Fat Tony” Scalia. I support the theft of presidential elections and private property and the execution of minors.
