Antonin Scalia: The barbarian on the supreme court.

Scalia's son was in Iraq, therefore, to his way of thinking, no one in Guantanamo is entitled to a trial.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/US_Supreme_Court/Scalia_Guantanamo.html

Speaking in front of a European audience, he said, "If (the prisoner) was captured by my army on a battlefield, (Guantanamo) is where he belongs. I had a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son and I'm not about to give this man who was captured in a war a full jury trial."

He went on to tell the European audience he was "astounded" at their "hypocrisy."

Talk about hypocrisy. This is about a case coming before the supreme court and since Scalia's son having been in Iraq is influencing his opinion, he should recuse himself. It's been shown time and again that most prisoners in Guantanamo were people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or innocent people turned in by someone with a grudge.

If foreigners held all Americans to Scalia's so-called standards, we'd be screaming our heads off. I hope to someday see Scalia in the Hague along with Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al. receiving a trial he would deny others.

In a room and let them fight it out. We'll put whoever survives on trial and make sure it's an honest one. :rofl:

He does an excellent job representing the interests of Whacko-Americans.

If we had any REAL news, we'd have all heard about this. Mr. Murrow where are you?

He is insane. And a hypocrite of exponential degree to boot.

Torturing the enemy (any enemy) only makes them fight harder and more savagely. If prisoners are treated humanly, the enemy can not illicit righteous outrage and spur their followers to further violence. By torturing prisoners, we declare that our way of life, our system of justice, is a front for power and control.

Torture only motivates our enemy and distances our allies.

What a pair.

Perfect compadres for the Skull-&-Boner-in-Chief of the "Homeland."


As for me, I not making no mindfuck psychological move to no steenkin "Homeland."

I choose to remain a loyal, and liberal citizen of the good, old United States of America (that's the US of A for you Freepers who have forgotten).


* Pope Prada insists on the fanciest, most cutting edge designs in his vestments. Apparently part of the new church doctrine is the BELIEF that one can not overemphasize the importance of High Fashion when ministering to the hungy, naked, and homeless of the planet.

God's representative on Earth.

would the new Pope be paying for his Prada shoes? Well, what the hell. This Pope is taking Max Bialistock's advice: "If you got it, flaunt it."

(Max Bialistock is the main character in Mel Brooks' "The Producers.")

There's a special place in Hell....

1) That person has committed a crime under our laws and is being held for trial, or has been convicted in an open court in a trial by a jury.

2) That person participated in a war against our armed forces, and must be treated as a Prisoner Of War under the Geneva Conventions and the UN Charter.

There is no third option.

Its appalling that a US Supreme Court Justice fails to understand the law. Its appalling that he should toe the party line AGAINST the Constitution.

Make that former chauffeur. I can just see him driving Bin Laden around a battlefield, one hand on the wheel and an AK47 in the other hand, mowing down American troops.

Why don't we just get Scalia's driver and lynch him for chauffeuring around a prick?

for recussal, this would be it!

Cheney was involved.

He probably didn't recuse himself because Cheney threatened to shoot him in the face if he did.

shot!

even though that's what he claims to be against.

Either schizophrenic or the worst sort of hypocrite. Probably both.

because I would prefer if he were imprisoned, they would treat him fairly, like we should be doing our prisoners... I guess it is just the person, not the situation that would make one want torture....

Fuck You!

That's what war IS, you fat asshole Tony.

if we had not illegally invaded their country. He calls it "shooting at my son." I am sure they call it defending their homes against the invaders.

Hussein "tried to kill dad" he had a right to use the American military and taxpayers' money to seek revenge.

Now, my daughter was hit by a car while jogging in Dublin a few weeks ago. (No, she wasn't seriously hurt--just scraped up.) The more I think about it, the more I think we should invade Ireland. I mean, I really love my daughter, and some Irish guy hit her with a car! She wasn't even shooting at him, as Scalia's son probably was shooting at some Iraqis, and she hadn't fought a war with him, as Bush's dad had with Hsusein. She was just innocently jogging, so there was even less justification for hitting her with a car.

We need to strike Ireland premptively, so we can fight careless Irish drivers over there rather than over here, where even more innocent American joggers could be hit by Irish drivers.

editorial change would make the word disappear. Oops.

disappear. I meant "to kill MY dad."

his comrades are still there and are in more danger cuz of this kind of stupidity. I wonder what kind of relationship they have?
