The title is a huge compliment to Rush to be compared to this brilliant intellect. Thanks, SF. Scalia got his BA from Georgetown with honors, then Harvard law school magna *** laude. He was a highly regarded law prof at the University of Chicago in the early 80's, at a time when UC law school was a dynamo with luminaries like Richard Posner and Richard Epstein breaking new ground.
Scalia was so well respected that he was confirmed 98-0 by the Senate when nominated by Reagan. Truly a living legend. Nonetheless I do not consider it out of line to compare Rush to him. They're both brilliant; they've just arrived via different routes. Thanks again for the nice compliment to Rush, SF.
I'm not disputing that Scalia's intelligence. I'm sure he's a very smart man, that however is not the point of the thread.
His main objective appears to be to push a right wing agenda, which is fine for a politician or pundit, not so much for a Supreme court justice.
To bad he doesn't know that justice is supposed to be blind.
Ahh right...and Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan are fair and balanced with no political agendas of their own...if you belive that... I've hot a bridge in Brooklyn to sell.

So you basically are admitting that Scalia is partisan.
I asked if Scalia was the most partisan judge in recent history. If you have evidence to say the contrary, provide some proof.
So Egyptians should follow the US constitution????
WTF????????
This is either a joke or a trolling post.
nuff said alright. Next post.
Given that most scholars deem the US Constitution to be one of the most brilliantly conceived works, and still relevant 200+ years after it was constructed .... to have a US Supreme Court justice make such dismissive remarks about our constitution to a foreign audience, placing greater value on other constitutions such as that of South freaking Africa and Canada .... well, dontcha think that might be a tiny sign? Can you process that in your mind and grasp the idea that this supports the contention that this delirious little troll is a US Constitutional contrarian?
The only thing wrong with our United States Constitution is the seeming ease at which modern traitors have managed to violate it with impunity, and the obvious loophole that would allow such a bag of bovine excrement to take a Supreme Court seat, and not be dragged off to the tar and feather room to meet the fate she deserves for being such an obvious enemy.
Such a despicable, delusional creature has no business on the Supreme Court, and her remarks here should be grounds for removing this witch from the bench.
I tell you, if this doesn't clearly prove the charge that liberals hate America and want to destroy her .. and are therefore to be considered domestic enemies, nothing could.

Well Hee Haw
The US Constitution applies to the US and not to foreign countries.
Only a truly ignorant person would think that it should be the law of the land in the Middle East.

Look ... that was not the issue, and you're either being deliberately coy .. or ....
The question was asked if Egypt should look to the US Constitution as a model in creating their own constitution, and this bottom feeding troll said no ... while directing attention toward the South African Constitution as a great work that should be considered a better one to study.
She made remarks about how the SA constitution established basic human rights and set an independent judiciary ... then she went on to mention Canada's constitution as more modern .. and then mentioned the European Convention on Human Rights .... with the unstated but clear insinuation that the US Constitution was apparently lacking, and apparently so at least in regard to human rights, given that she mentioned in twice in reference to others.
The reality is that there is not one example, past or present, of a foreign constitution that can stand remotely equal to the US Constitution, let alone superior, yet this clown dismisses our constitution so casually in favor of these others. It's a terrible situation to discover that a US Supreme Court Justice actually feels this way about our constitution ... but another thing altogether for one to openly make such remarks to a foreign audience. That is both vile and unforgivable. Better that she keep that ugly pie hole shut, and that claptrap to herself.

Reason: off topic
Scalia's comments were reasoned and spot on. Good for him for speaking from the principles framed in the Constitution. The US Constitution is the most important human document ever written. The freedoms of all humans on this planet are a result of, at least in part, our Constitution. Thank God for the courageous, godly men who wrote it, and the men and women today who defend it.

God yes, let's thank God for those Godly men. God, where would we be without them? God only knows. God we're lucky.
