Well…I am actually ahead by one for the month but I thought I’d come back here for one more to deal with a a couple of things that have come up over the past couple of days..the first one is the comments that justice Scalia made during arguments over the continuation of the voting rights act and whether or not discrimination still exists in voting rights in the southern states that are covered by parts of the act. This idiot stated that the only reason that the congress re-authorized the act overwhelmingly in 2006 was that the members were afraid to vote against a “racial entitlement”, not that there is still discrimination going on..something that is clear IS still happening; especially during the last election with all of the voter suppression that happened across the country. This is probably one of the most outrageous statements I’ve ever heard from a justice of the supreme court and I really do think it raises to the level of an impeachable offense…especially since he is attributing the votes for the act to being a sort of reverse blackmail that minorities are doing to the congress when the only reason the act was re approved is that when these states are left to their own devices, they immediately go back to discriminating against the poor and minorities by throwing up new barriers to their votes. Over the years, Scalia has shown that he is not the “huge brain” that the right holds him up to be, but just a venal, misogynistic, hack who has no problem using his lifelong appointment not to judge on the facts of a case, but to continually misinterpret the law to further his own political ends…the country would be better off if he would just resign and go to work for one of the corporations that he reveres and stop gutting the laws of the land. Geez…
