Antonin scalia is probably the most activist judge that ever activisted

For me it depends. If a judge rules against my political viewpoint they are an ignorant, activist piece of human garbage. But if they rule in favor of my political viewpoint they are standing by their convictions and should be commended.

How do you dudes think Scalia would react to politics keeping the seat vacant for 16 months or so instead of the usual 2-3 months?

He'd love it because he was as partisan as anyone. Just more delusional and misleading about it.

Bork was a horrific person. Most of the slimy Nixon admin hangers on like Rumsfeld, Cheney and Kissinger were responsible for decades of awfulness but luckily Bork was prevented from doing too much damage.

We disagreed now and then, but when I wrote for the Court and received a Scalia dissent, the opinion ultimately released was notably better than my initial circulation. Justice Scalia nailed all the weak spots—the 'applesauce' and 'argle bargle'—and gave me just what I needed to strengthen the majority opinion. He was a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit, with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh.

The man let his profound disgust with homosexuals seep through every decision on the topic. However, his most awful thoughts are about the death penalty and justice.

The libtards are doing a great job of echoing everything that was so dispicable about the Bork confirmation process. Slandering that man to ruin was truly disgusting and unprecedented. Im surprised the well documented lies have resurfaced

I like how you played it safe this time and left off Bork's first name.

The Bork confirmation hearings were a rough ridin' disgrace. A two-year disgrace. Roger was a great man and the libtards just slandered him to shreds. And now they're pissed that Mark McConnell will do the same thing when Boris Obama appoints a nominee to replace the late, great justice Abner Skeletor? Give me a rough ridin' break.

Dear FSD,

It's adorable that you think it's simply a "typo" when you call a poster a rough ridin' idiot for not knowing a historical figure whose name you then proceed to get wrong. You played, son. Just take your lumps. Now that'll be all on the matter...at least until you bring up Randy Bork again.
Love,
SkinnyBrendan

SkinnyBenny, thanks for laying the typo wood. Conflating Ronald Reagan and his appointee Robert Bork was a fatal message board mistake. This is serious stuff, not something one should do on their phone whilst taking a crap without copy editing. Keep up the superstar police work.

Bork was appointed by Nixon for the sole purpose of obstructing justice, he did this because he was promised a Supreme Court spot. What a garbage nominee! The only more embarrassing nominee was George W. Bush attempting to appoint his personal attorney as though he was nominating someone to a country club.

You could say the same thing about every appointed judge ever, that's mindless idiot rhetoric. Nobody regrets the Bork incident more than democrats of that era. It was the political equivalent of stepping into an open manhole

Every appointed judge fired Archibald Cox?
