Justice Scalia Renders 'Opinion' on Church and State |
Thank you for your learned decision, your dishonor.
BTW, I grew up in a working class neighborhood in New York City. Many of
the other kids, including my friends were of Italian-American descent.
Some claimed Sicilian ancestry too. I know that gesture, with the hand
under the chin. It was considered extremely rude, offensive, and
obscene. It meant roughly the same thing as F--- you or get the f--- out
of here. I know if I made it to another kid, I would have had a fight on
my hands.
Class act Scalia!

'Herald' Says Justice Scalia Makes 'Obscene Gesture'
By E&P Staff
Published: March 27, 2006 2:40 PM ET updated 10:00 PM
NEW YORK Emerging from mass in Boston on Sunday, U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Antonin Scalia made an "obscene gesture" in responding to a
question from a reporter, according to Monday's Boston Herald.
A Herald reporter outside the Cathedral of the Holy Cross had asked
Scalia, 70, if he faces much questioning over impartiality when it comes
to issues separating church and state. "You know what I say to those
people?" Scalia replied, making the "obscene gesture, flicking his hand
under his chin," the Herald reported. He explained, "That's Sicilian."
A photographer with The Pilot, the Archdiocese of Boston's newspaper,
caught the moment. "Don't publish that," Scalia told the photographer,
the Herald said.
The Herald today called it "conduct unbecoming a 20-year veteran of the
countrys highest court - and just feet from the Mother Churchs altar."
Later Monday, however, the Associated Press reported that Scalia had
merely used an Italian hand gesture. "It was a hand off the chin gesture
that was meant to be dismissive," Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg
said.
According to AP: "The sign he used in Boston is frequently used by
Italians to express displeasure with someone - from mild to deep
irritation. It is done by cupping the hand under the chin and flicking
the fingers like a backward wave."
The controversy came on the same day that Newsweek reported on a tape
recording of a March 8 lecture by Justice Scalia in which he ridiculed
legal claims by detainees of Guantanamo Bay as "crazy." The Supreme
Court is now hearing a challenge to the legality of special military
tribunals for suspects held at the U.S. prison camp in Cuba.
"War is war, and it has never been the case that when you captured a
combatant you have to give them a jury trial in your civil courts,"
Judge Scalia said, during the talk at the University of Freiburg in
Switzerland, according to Newsweek. "Foreigners, in foreign countries,
have no rights under the American Constitution... Nobody has ever
thought otherwise."

I suppose that rudeness and bad taste are protected by the constitution

Gee, the Shrub Junta's full of 'Class Acts.'

I suppose that rudeness and bad taste are protected by the
constitution too. Scalia is free to crudely show his contempt
for those who don't agree with him, but the press also has the
right to report it.
BTW they did publish it:

Gee, the Shrub Junta's full of 'Class Acts.'
It also shows what they think about our laws and the American
people in general.
No, it shows what they think of their classy critics, who deserve
everything they get.
Scalia violated his oath of office. Why is that okay with you?
He swore an oath not to make rude gestures?
Nah, that's just an example of his hypocrisy. I was thinking of his
oath to uphold the constitution.
Sigh. Could you be more specific about how you think he failed to
uphold the constitution?
Let's start with his refusal to recuse himself in cases where he has a
conflict of interest.
I don't see anything in the Constitution that requires a Supreme Court
justice to recuse himself if he has opinions about a case that comes
before the court.
I can always rely on conservatives to defend corruption.
Bush v. Gore is an excellent example of Scalia's corruption. The sad
part is that Scalia harmed the Court unnecessarily. The process in place
in Florida would have given Bush the electoral votes.
I wonder if Scalia will be going hunting with the VP again any time
soon?

'Herald' Says Justice Scalia Makes 'Obscene Gesture'
By E&P Staff
Published: March 27, 2006 2:40 PM ET updated 10:00 PM
NEW YORK Emerging from mass in Boston on Sunday, U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia made an "obscene gesture" in
responding to a question from a reporter, according to Monday's
Boston Herald.
A Herald reporter outside the Cathedral of the Holy Cross had
asked Scalia, 70, if he faces much questioning over impartiality
when it comes to issues separating church and state. "You know
what I say to those people?" Scalia replied, making the "obscene
gesture, flicking his hand under his chin," the Herald reported.
He explained, "That's Sicilian."
A photographer with The Pilot, the Archdiocese of Boston's
newspaper, caught the moment. "Don't publish that," Scalia told
the photographer, the Herald said.
This from a man who's job includes protecting the freedom of the
press.
Yep. And Freedom of speech, freedom of belief or non belief, and a
lot of other things.
Does freedom of speech include the speech of judges? How about
gestures?
I suppose that rudeness and bad taste are protected by the
constitution too. Scalia is free to crudely show his contempt for
those who don't agree with him, but the press also has the right to
report it.
BTW they did publish it:

Yes, and you'll notice that Scalia didn't even try to stop them, now did
he?

Sure, just as Bush's job is to defend the Constitution. :)
Scalia knows that his job is to further the ambitions of the
powerful at the expense of the weak. That's why he was chosen.
