Geeto67 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/14/us/antonin-scalia-death.html?_r=0 he's not even in the ground and already the conspiracy theories are coming fast and furious: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/02/15/conspiracy-theories-swirl-around-the-death-of-antonin-scalia/ Having met the man a couple of times and even having a 45 minute conversation with him once about "original intent" I can only say it "couldn't have happened to a more deserving person". anybody else got 2 cents they want to weigh in with?

Littleguy Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Definitely the loudest of the current justices. I love that someone would see a 79 year old dying as something suspicious, lol. As far as the replacement goes, I predict Obama gets a pick approved.

Geeto67 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Guy was hilarious, fuck the haters. being funny doesn't make you right. I will agree his literary tantrums were really funny, but they were funny in the same way your old dementia ridden grandpa's ramblings about the jews and irish are funny. Dude got to make an analogy to applesauce and say Jiggery-Pokery in official court rulings (albeit the dissent), can't fault him for that. Learned Hand he is not however.

They have to or it will hurt the republicans in the election, and a liberal judge gets appointed anyway when Hillary appoints the Judge.

AngryBMW Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I can only say it "couldn't have happened to a more deserving person". anybody else got 2 cents they want to weigh in with? You have got to be fucking kidding me. You stir the pot and try to fight with members on here, defending and martyring the deaths of people that do not deserve your efforts, yet CELEBRATE the death of someone considered by many to be "one of the most influential judge(s) of the last quarter-century"?! Because what, you met the man for 45 minutes and he presumably disagreed with your over-opinionated self?! I shouldn't be terribly surprised; you are the same asshole that assumes anyone that wishes others Merry Christmas as opposed to Happy Holidays is a 'presumptuous bigot'*. You make my head hurt. -Marc *At least I know how to spell the word properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 You stir the pot and try to fight with members on here, defending and martyring the deaths of people that do not deserve your efforts... I don't think you mean to be making the call as to who is deserving and is not. I don't think you mean it this way but it does come off as more bigoted than you probably intended. Also I don't martyr anybody, because you aren't using that word right - martyr as a verb means I would have killed them. Also there is no "-ing" on the end of martyr as a verb. It is just "martyr". ...yet CELEBRATE the death of someone considered by many to be "one of the most influential judge(s) of the last quarter-century"?! first off all I am not celebrating anybody's death. Dude passed in his sleep quietly at the end of a long life - def a good way to go for sure and for that and I am happy that it was peaceful. I am celebrating the end of his tenure and the conclusion of his legacy which is more controversial than it is influential. Not all of his ideas were crackpot but his core structure, esp at the end of his tenure were frustrating and contrary to how government works in America (and yes I know government working in America is an oxymoron). I fear that further down the road his true legacy will be revealed to plating the seeds that allow certain types of discrimination to survive otherwise contrary majority opinions with which he disagreed. Because what, you met the man for 45 minutes and he presumably disagreed with your over-opinionated self?! Because I have read more opinions of him (and other supreme court justices) than you can ever hope to read. because I have the context. truth be told meeting him actually caused me to have more respect for him, a respect he then set out to further squander with some of his more "controversial" opinions that towed the republican party line more than they sought actual adjudication. I find it pure comedy gold that you are chiding me for being opinionated about a man whose supreme court legacy was being a bully, dismissive, argumentative, and marginalizing. Oops, I left out over-opinionated, my bad. I shouldn't be terribly surprised; you are the same asshole that assumes anyone that wishes others Merry Christmas as opposed to Happy Holidays is a 'presumptuous bigot'*. yes, because being respectful and not presumptuous about other people's religion/culture is really an asshole thing to do. Enjoying your fictional war on Christmas? You make my head hurt. -Marc good, it means you are finally using those parts of your brain that house sympathy and compassion for your fellow man.
