Those perfidious Koch Brothers must have gotten to Justice Scalia. He’s talking the Libertarian crazy-talk.
“You’re entitled to criticize the government, and you can use words, you can use symbols, you can use telegraph, you can use morse code, you can burn a flag. “It’s all expression and it’s all covered by the First Amendment.” …
“The Constitution is not a living organism for Pete’s sake. It’s a law. It means what it meant when it was adopted,” he said.
After his prepared remarks, Scalia took questions from eager law students who lined the aisles of the theatre. His remarks there were more candid, pointing to the Washington, D.C. v. Heller opinon — a second-amendment case — as his proudest moment on the court.
When another students asked about the constitutionality of income tax, he assured the student that the government could, in fact, take his money.
“But if it reaches certain point, perhaps you should revolt,” Scalia advised the young man.
Criticize the Government? In the Age of the Lightbringer? Blasphemy! President Obama and Mr. Harry Reid better send the SWAT Teams into the Supreme Court and put down this sedition and insurrection!
“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.” — Hillary Rhodam Clinton, Domestic Terrorist
Maybe there’s still a Fool’s hope. All of the honest, law-abiding DTs of NJ are waiting a few more agonizing hours: After the state and circuit kangaroo courts openly laughed at the entire concept of the second amendment, the Honorable DT Justice Scalia got together Friday morning with his fellow Supreme Potential DTs to discuss whether they’d like to hear the case. We won’t know what they decided until tomorrow morning.
Have a safe night.
A good thing taxes are at their lowest point in 30 years and continue to go down under Obama.
Dissent
iswas the highest form of patriotism.The left is revealing its true self: totalitarian. Too bad so many people don’t seem to notice or care. This is something that thinking conservatives have known for a long time but it’s so bloody obvious now that only fools wouldn’t notice. But then my opinion of the American electorate isn’t all that high these days.
I wish the SCOTUS were composed of five Justices Antonin Scalia and four Justices Clarence Thomas, or vice verso. I would feel that the Constitution is alive and well as per our Founding Fathers. Half the b s cases wouldn’t make into the Court.
Actually, Obamacare massively hikes taxes across the board on health care consumers, providers, and equipment manufacturers.
But go on sodomizing that chicken because Obama has black skin, torrentprime. We expect no better from you.
