Antonin Scalia: The Constitution Allows the Supreme Court to "Favor Religion Over Nonreligion"; says fuck you to separation of church and state

October 3, 2014 by Paul Spoerry 10 Comments

 

This week, during a speech at Colorado Christian University, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, “I think the main fight is to dissuade Americans from what the secularists are trying to persuade them to be true: that the separation of church and state means that the government cannot favor religion over nonreligion,” Justice Scalia said.
“That’s a possible way to run a political system. The Europeans run it that way,” Justice Scalia said. “And if the American people want to do it, I suppose they can enact that by statute. But to say that’s what the Constitution requires is utterly absurd.”

Wow… just wow. How he can arrive at this considering the people founding the country were fleeing religious persecution is beyond me.

    Because he is a hack! Although he talks a good game about the Constitution since he disagrees with the folks who wrote it (our founding fathers) he just picks and chooses what he wants. He is a hack for a few reasons – he is clearly activist although he has complained long and loud when he thought others (who he disagreed with) were, he spends much of his time chasing a buck selling himself with speeches, and he totally fails at being an impartial justice. God we got screwed more than a few of these fools. That is why it is so important to vote! And vote Blue!

    Voting doesn't help here: justices are not elected officials.

    But we don't want anymore like these yahoos. Think Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Samuel Alito – all brought to you by Reagan, Bush I and Bush II.

    The President gets to nominate when there is a vacancy – this is probably one of the biggest plums and most people never think about it +James Karaganis

    I do… how is it the highest court in the land has no term limit?

    I don't want to live in this country anymore.

    Wrong attitude +Candice D (although I fully understand it). We need to make sure everyone we know is registered to vote (deadlines are coming up and some have passed), gets an absentee ballot if they will be out of town on election day, goes and votes and understands the candidates and issues. Midterm elections will determine which party controls the Senate (and oh how I wised the House). There are several close contests. Vote Blue in November!

    if you will remember, the supreme court said a candidate won in bush2's first term…and that the florida vote didn't count..among other irregularities…
