Scalia is a Republican Toadie
Scalia is a cheap political hack (or is this redundant?)
His behavior begs the question of why Supreme Court justices should be appointed for life.
No CEO is appointed for life in this free-market, free-thinking society. So, why should anyone in the judiciary be appointed for life?
Why is it that there is a "welfare" mentality in the appointment of Supreme Court justices?
Scalia -- the best buddy of Cheney -- can rant all he wants. He seems to forget, however, that he is being paid by the American taxpayer. He was appointed on the assumption that he would be intellectually honest.
His record certainly speaks for the fact that he is a Republican shill.
So why should the taxpayer subsidize such a person?
