Justice scalia

  • In January, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of "high-handedness." He was just getting warmed up.
  • (Bloomberg)
  • Scalias tone this year, particularly in cases involving the Obama administration, is raising new criticism over the temperament of a justice who has always relished the give-and- take of the Supreme Courts public sessions.
  • (Huffington Post)
  • As the Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday about an Arizona immigration law, supporters of the crackdown set up an amplifier on the sidewalk in front of the court and belted out a tune: The melody was weak and the lyrics weaker.
  • (Columbia Daily Tribune)
  • At one point in the proceedings, Justice Scalia wondered if eating broccoli should be mandated along with health insurance coverage.
  • (Forbes)
  • In her April 30 letter, RPI shouldnt honor Scalia, Leah Jakaitis questions whether Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is being honored simply because there arent enough women students to protest him. How absurd.
  • (Times Union)
  • A few days ago, someone submitted the following message to Texts from Last Night: Went to an open-bar law school party and puked in front of Justice Scalia. My legal career is now complete — I literally got judged by a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
  • (abovethelaw.com)
  • In his fervent defense Wednesday of Arizona's right to crack down on illegal immigration, Justice Antonin Scalia likened immigration enforcement to crackdowns on bank robbers.
  • (Democratic Underground.com)
  • But he didnt commit the crime. Today, his case reminds us of the glaring flaws of capital punishment. Even for Justice Antonin Scalia, the crassest of the current United States Supreme Court justices, it was a particularly callous piece of writing.
