Blind Justice


Far right wing Supreme Court Justice Antonin "Fat Tony" Scalia seems to be getting more and more partisan and outrageous recently. His latest assault on judicial integrity was a statement that upcoming decisions on marriage equality, women's reproductive rights, and the death penalty would be "easy." Perhaps, if you're a hammer and you see the world as made up of only nails. His anger over the Court's favorable decision on the Affordable Care Act spilled over into the public, a "no-no" if there ever was one. Never cautious about displaying his partisan affiliation, Fat Tony frequently attends right wing gatherings, and is a fan of former (Vice) President Dick "The Dick" Cheney. 'Nuff said.

The Daily Beast has put together a useful compilation of Fat Tony's intemperate and injudicious thoughts, which should not only call into question his fitness for the high court, but his basic decency.
