- What will “blogger” mean in five years? Will “blogger” still be synonymous with “unemployed,” or will it have other meanings, like “someone who enjoys sex with dead people” or “a derogatory term for homosexuals”? Or both? Find out! In five years. [Matt Yglesias]
- Jonah Goldberg rightly points out that the Secret Service is not at all concerned about wackos tromping around town hall meetings with assault rifles and ammo belts slung over their shoulders. See: Animal Mother. [The Corner]
- It’s happening TODAY! Today, the White House will be graced by both Mama and Papa Clinton. Bill, Hillary, and Barack, in the same room! It’s the Holy Trinity — like David Vitter, an adult diaper, and a strumpet. This is how magic happens, ladies and gentlemen. [The Caucus]
- Justice Scalia gives some wise end-of-life counseling to a whiny death row inmate, who is “actually” innocent: Die. [Think Progress]
- Do you trust Obama’s slum lords? Of course we do, Michelle. With our lives. [Michelle Malkin]
Reminding the government that the citizenry is armed ain’t necessarily a bad idea.
Wow, Jo-Glo. I didn’t think you could take reactionary, blithering stupidity to a new low, but congrats. You just did.
Scalia to death row inmate: Drop Dead.
Scalia’s entire dissent was just the lyrics to Joe Dolce’s Shaddap You Face.
Thomas concurred in the dissent by transcribing his favorite line from Coming to America (at the 0:54 mark).
Both Clintons, in the WH, on the same day!? I say Hopey should keep them in separate rooms at all times, have a marriage counselor on speakerphone, never get out of the big chair in the Oval Office… and watch his drink… just sayin’…
P.S. Doughy Pantload “can’t get super worked up” (yes, an actual quote) about armed cyborgs at town hall meetings. But fuck with the recipe for Cool Ranch Doritos, and look for a chair to go flying out of a window.
note to Scalia: bag o dicks, ingest.
Where did Rachel Ray go?
Her breasts were speaking to me.
Whoa, Scalia’s statement he some pretty intensely concentrated evil in it.
He must have eated Novak’s body and gained his powers, like a really fat douchebag Highlander kind of thing.
RE: Malkin. Why is the wind-chill relevant if the people are indoors?
“There’s nothing unconstitutional about executing the innocent.”
A new record for douchebaggery! At the top of the mountain and still trying to achieve new heights, that’s the hallmark of a champion.
Scalia must be the Italian word for asshole.
This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent.
Dear Justice (*snorfle*) Scalia:
Please refer to my upstream comment to Jonah Golberg. Rinse. Repeat. And then proceed to the SCOTUS buffet and help yourself to a steaming plateful of poisoned rat dicks.
No love,
QAE v 2.0
Did anyone see the interview with the Jamaican woman who won the 100m last night at the track & field world championships? She was so happy she could hardly speak. Mostly high-pitched squeaks kept emanating from her mouth. She also had braces on her teeth. The perfect antidote to days of terrible political news.
hobospacejunkie: So right, hobo. It was a sublime moment.
Also, Scalia is a turd.
Man, Riley Waggaman is on fire. Is that his first David Vitter/diaper joke?
Gorillionaire: I’d like to see how Scalia likes being the object of wrath of a bunch of gun-tating DC residents massed outside the SCOTUS building. I hope whatever it is that gets him in the end is long, drawn-out and exquisitely, excruciatingly painful.
Conservative judicial philosophy: “Actual” innocence in no way makes up for the hassle, expense and waste of resources that your needless trial and incarceration have taken on the system. It sucks to be you.
Comment of the day, a.k.a. WIN THE AFTERNOON goes to New York Times commenter:
Obama must feel relieved that he won’t have to ask Hillary for Bill’s thoughts on Korea.
What a fucking monster.
So much for “right to life” huh?
Scalia…isn’t that some kind of horrid, ugly fungus-like disease? Because that’s way his face looks like to me. Also his soul.
“Joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in dissent”: They really don’t need to mention that every time, do they?
Hey, Loudensspam, are you going to object to us saying nasty shit about Scalia when he dies? Because I am going to.
Zen koan: If Dick Cheney were to shoot Antonin Scalia in the face, would he be ‘actually’ innocent?
You know, Jeebus was innocent, and they knew that, and they executed him anyway. Are you saying you’re somehow better than Jeebus?!?!
sezme: No - but the world would be a better place…
qwerty42: That should be, “Drop Dead, Loser.”
Scalia: “[P]etitioner’s claim is a sure loser. Transferring his petition to the District Court [for an 'actual innocence' review] is a confusing exercise that can serve no purpose except to delay the State’s execution of its lawful criminal judgment [that he should be murdered by lethal injection].”
Strumpet? I didn’t realize Vitter’s fetish also included pastries.
Scalia might be right on whether SCOTUS has ever taken up this question in regard to the Constitution. On the question of how big of an asshole he is, though, he keeps repeating the answer over and over and over.
And Goldberg, I don’t think politicians ever forget the citizenry is armed. All they have to do is suggest that maybe quite possibly the American people should perhaps begin thinking about the start of a discussion about the possibility of a common-sense gun control law or two, and the screams of protest from the NRA shut them right back up.
Scalia, Whole Foods is looking for team members like you.
teebob2000: Right to life only applies to innocent life. Oh wait, shit….
I just saw a blog where the women describes herself as a Christian who can’t wait to spend eternity with her Savior(she is about 30 and has four kids under 11). ugh, that gives me the creeps- is it scary -or is that just me?
sezme: You know I REALLY think this needs to happen to solve the larger hypothetical question.
SOTUS = Death Squads
Scalia’s a real strict constructionist — he believes the right of the divinely-appointed monarchy shall not be infringed by the Constitution.
RoscoePColtraine: I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too”
He said, “You’re not Him.”
Scalia is a twisted little fuck. I’m not sure how you can interpret the Due Process clause to permit the execution of someone known to be innocent. “You already had your chance black man” doesn’t really seem to cover it for me.
“This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent.”
Yes, the court has long held that the opinion of 12, although possibly half-witted or insanely predjudiced citizens, is to be held in the highest regard. It’s that or communism. Take your pick.
In the future a “blogger” will be the parlance for filthy, malignant obstructions, like the object in Scalia’s chest where a heart would normally be found.
“Blogger” = unemployed, necrophiliac, homosexual?
Riley, that’s really no way to talk about Sully, the Buckley-fucking blogger who’s never around to defend himself, now is it?
In this example Scalia is a fine example of a government bureaucrat making arbitrary decisions about peoples’ lives that ignore reality. Where are the teabaggers??
Also, where was this “due process” concern back in 2000 when the court decided to hear Bush v Gore, and in so doing usurp the state of Florida’s rights regarding presidential electors?
the problem child: Is Dissent just down the road from Disarray? In Cahoots County (state of Confusion, of course).
JustAss Scalia: Apparently a “full and fair trial” doesn’t necessarily include reaching the correct verdict. We know that approximately one out of every ten convicts on death row in the US has been released based on new DNA evidence.
So - Justices Scalia (and Thomas, of course) voted to eliminate an automatic right to DNA evidence that might prove a convicted person was really innocent. What’s the matter? We’re not killing enough people in this country for them?
And if we aren’t going to continue to appeal cases (ie, the court said it so that’s enough for us!) why do we still need a Supreme Court? Why not just let the Mayor handle death penalty cases as well as well as parking ticket objections?
SayItWithWookies: “Strict Constructionist” Build the gallows high and solid…
Scalia is kickin’ up the sass! Using the West Side Story model of ethnic relations, I predict Scalia will be a member of the Jets and Saucy Sotomayor will be a Shark. RUMBLE!
hobospacejunkie:
Give Scalia a boom chucka lucka lucka drill demonstration, with your choice of parade-grade AR, AK, or FAL. Side arms (Desert Eagle, M9, P99) optional.
Why did the Ginzo Supreme cross the road? To get from the right to the (far) right!
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dego wop, SIR! HOOAH! (Extra e, w, o, and p brought to you by The Brotherhood of Salt Seasoned Rodent Reproductive Organ Snack Manufacturing Workers Amalgamated, Local 69)
RAZZLE DAZZLE!
If Yglesias keeps the posts flowing, in five years “blogger” will mean, “banal navel-gazer.”
How the fuck was Scalia allowed on the court? It burns me up to see Sotomayor as if she’s some racist extremist, but you’ve got a guy on the court who’s a real and present extremist and he’s given deference, in general. I hope Justice Mayor-Lady regularly makes Scalia rue the day he decided to accept and invitiation to be on the court. She should make his life a living hell every case she gets to.
