He is a loathsome creature.

Happily, more of his days on the high court are behind him than ahead of him.

That is just a cheap way to dismiss ideas you don't like.

Very true.

I still havnt received a single reply to my posts that actually outlined what the case is actually about, people are too worried about being offended.

Of course he's a racist -- in his concurring opinion in Arizona v. United States, he used the fact that after the Civil War Southern states enacted laws prohibiting the internal migration of freed slaves as legal precedence for the Arizona law.

He's also a raging hypocrite, demanding originalism, then ruling that the word 'people' and 'persons' in the Constitution applies to corporations (yeah, the Founders meant that, Antonin... uh huh ). He arrogantly insists that only the law, not the effects of a potential judicial ruling, are relevant to a decision, then rails against the majority opinion in Lawrence v. Texas because... of the effects the ruling will have. Scalia and his (unfortunately young) clone, Alito, are repugnant.

I don't have much use for Clarence Thomas, but at least his rulings are internally consistent and logically coherent from one to the next.

Thanks for epitomizing the stance of the left. No quote, no link, no evidence just an accusation. Sentence first, verdict aftwards!" per Alice in Wonderland.

There should be some national standards for voting but other than that, forcing a handful of states to report any change of policies to the Fed is unnecessary. I'm not sure if it's "unconstitutional" but unnecessary.

I think it will end up being unconstitutional 5-4

This does not make him racist.

Alot of right wingers feel that it is no longer, my problem is they have no proof. Krystal Ball said that 81% of the voter rights complains that won their cases came from the states that are part of the Voter rights act, she mentioned the source, but i cant remember it.

We still have a problem in this nation.

Very likely he is. And it's clear by his record of comments, he's a hard core right wing partisan.

Objective legal scholars have noted how unprofessional his comments/actions have been that may give some the "impression" of him being biased. You don't do that when you are a SCOTUS Judge.

Quail hunting with Dick Cheney just as an example.

He's just getting senile and we'll be rid of this guy soon.
