It would seem that it is time to not only have Antoin Scalia removed from the U. S. Supreme Court but also time that the man checked into a mental institution. His bizarre fantasy world where white is black and up is down now includes blaming liberalism for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. It was the conservative elements in Germany that bought into the Nazi regime and slowly but steadily liberal voices were silenced. Scalia also ignores that European history confirms that antisemitism had its strongest roots among conservative regimes - e.g., Tsarist Russia. But then again, reality means nothing to Scalia. Here are highlights from Talking Points Memo:
With his own claims to originalism fading fast, Scalia suggests liberal judicial activism, practiced by some of colleagues on the Court, is part of what brought about the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. The speech was an address to the Utah State Bar Association.
From the Aspen Times …
The man is a menace to society.Scalia opened his talk with a reference to the Holocaust, which happened to occur in a society that was, at the time, “the most advanced country in the world.” One of the many mistakes that Germany made in the 1930s was that judges began to interpret the law in ways that reflected “the spirit of the age.” When judges accept this sort of moral authority, as Scalia claims they’re doing now in the U.S., they get themselves and society into trouble.
