And to think we’ve probably got more than a decade still to go with J. Scalia, especially if his lust for power grows so great that he has to be taken out feet first ala the last CJ.

the only things Scalia has ever done that I’ve agreed with.
Personally, I’m not sure why we’re still talking about this. Does getting all upset over a Supreme Court Justice declaring that he doesn’t care whether people don’t like him (after all, do we really want judges to be concerned with whether their rulings are politically popular at the moment?) do anything but make us look like the whiny, irrelevant, ineffectual would-be PC police that conservative talk-radio hosts love to claim liberals are?

OK, so Scalia made a gesture in declaring that he wasn’t bothered by critics. It was a rude and dismissive gesture, and depending on your interpretation it may also have been obscene. He did this in a church, so it was fairly inappropriate. He may also have said something very rude in Italian.

Do we really have nothing more pressing to worry about?
