You asked me and I answered. I'm sorry you're disturbed but I didn't start this thread. And to be quite honest, I don't really care if Scalia is dead or not.  He didn't support the Stratton decision, so he's not my friend, regardless.

 

I'm a liberal socialist at heart..   plus he's mean   ...   

Perhaps I was more specific than I should have been with "liberal socialist"; I'm not political in any way.  The nation of Israel and the early Christian congregation was quite socialist, though - "the one with much, not too much; the one with little, not too little".  Gleaning provisions, Jubilee years of redistribution of lost inheritance... it was beautifully kind and fair. 

 

There is no comparable system of government today - but I can't help but like ideas that echo those, even though I won't vote or actively support them.  

 

This helps us all to read before posting so we don't misinform others,  according to the article that was quoted more than once, Scalia was Not the ONE who Did Not support the Stratton decision   ...     http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/18/national/18SOLI.html   

8-1   ...  "Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist was the lone dissenter."

My apologies, I did misread.

Although he Scalia didn't dissent he was disrespectful in his separate opinion. Are we crackpots:

Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas did not sign the majority opinion, instead concurring separately in an opinion by Justice Scalia that was oddly churlish in tone.

Justice Scalia responded to a comment by Justice Stevens that there were "patriotic citizens" who might "prefer silence to speech licensed by a petty official." That was a "fairy-tale category" of patriots, Justice Scalia said, adding: "If our free-speech jurisprudence is to be determined by the predicted behavior of such crackpots, we are in a sorry state indeed."

Hence why I posted see Scalia's comment.

Stavro,

    Would you mind repeating what you just said a little clearer for some of us who are not  as

bright. Yours remind me of the lines from a song from "Fiddler on the Roof'. "Posing problems

that would cross a rabbi's eyes."

Whatever Stavro "just said" that caught your eye, he said over three weeks ago.
