That Scalia Thing
Cristian Farias - Legal Affairs Reporter, The Huffington Post
During oral arguments on Wednesday in Fisher v. University of Texas, a contentious affirmative action case, the conservative justice seemed to call their abilities into question.
"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well," Scalia said, "as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school ... a slower-track school where they do well."
Scalia was engaging former U.S. Solicitor General Gregory Garre, who is now representing the University of Texas at Austin as the school defends its ongoing consideration of race as one of many factors in its admissions program.
Pointing to a brief the court received before oral arguments, Scalia noted "most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas."
Garre tried to interject, but the justice continued. "They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that ... they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them," Scalia said.Standard GOP Logic.
- We elected a black guy President
- so we're Post Racial
- so there's no such thing as "racism"
- so if black folks are getting fucked over now, it must be because there really is something wrong with them
- so I was right all along - we're just better than they are
- so it's OK to talk shit about 'em again
These people have no soul and no honor.
The next president will likely have to make at least one nomination for SCOTUS. At least one - possibly as many as 3 in two terms. We don't need any more like Antonin Scalia on the court.
He Doesn't Actually Say Anything
Trump: "I have to do what's right. And what's right is this: We have a problem. It's a serious problem. It's gotta be solved. And people that are Muslim; that are friends of mine are so happy that I brought it up."
I have to do what's right. And what's right is this: We have a problem.
Why is anybody pretending that's some kind of policy statement?

Maybe I'm reading a little too much into it, but given our national pathology where guns and violent tendencies seem to link up for some kind of wishful Danse Macabre, that thing on the back of that car - the thing with the red lettering - it says what it says because...
"My barely-sublimated potential for psychotic behavior could manifest itself at any minute, in a rather explosive display of road rage, during which your 1st amendment right to express yourself on the public thoroughfare will get the fuck 2nd-Amended out of it, because I'm afraid I have very little for you to respect in terms of maturity and reason, so all I can think of is to compensate for it by making you fearful of what I might do because of my toxically unresolved Daddy Issues and the resultant deep-seated feelings of inadequacy regarding the size of my penis"
...doesn't fit on a bumper sticker.
And oh yeah - this:
Menacing is the name of a criminal offense in many US states. The wording and degrees of the offense vary from state to state. It often consists of displaying a weapon to a person with the intention of threatening them with bodily harm from the said weapon, or of criminally threatening another, or otherwise putting them in fear of physical harm. Depending on state, degrees of offense range from a misdemeanor for first time offenders, to low to mid level felonies for offenders with a prior menacing charge. The tangentially related crime of "Menacing By Stalking" was introduced as a new charge in some states following the popularization of laws specifically targeting stalking behavior, in which a perpetrator adopts a long-term pattern of actions designed to frighten and harass a victim while still adhering to the letter of existing harassment laws.
