Legal Reasoning at its Finest
Our brilliant legal scholar and life-long appointee to the Supreme Court, Antonin Scalia, at his finest, in a recent case:
"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is "actually" innocent. Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based on alleged "actual innocence" is constitutionally cognizable."
First, let me get this out of the way: Antonin Scalia is a truly evil man, a monster in human form without the least understanding of what the word "justice" might mean; a deeply corrupt man who participated proudly in saddling our country with the worst presidential administration in our history, and a criminal who has no guiding principle in his decisions but abject toadying to the rich. He is no more than filth.
I could go on here, but I guess you get my point. Now on to what I really have to say.
When you hear things like this, does it just possibly, maybe make you think that it isn't the most horrible, abusive, un-American thing on earth, for a Supreme Court Justice to have a little empathy with those who come before him or her?
Just asking.
