RIP Big Tony Scalia

Fuck yea. The cancerous conservatard of limited vision and accolyte for a randian dystopia of butt fucking guntards without a clue dies in the land of libertarian fuckwits and racist trailer trash. The universe is a bit brighter today.Fuck you all and welcome to the liberal court.

>>64058494
The homosexual agenda is real and you are part of it. There are absolutely no bad consequences whatsoever flowing from the prohibition of sodomy and everything Scalia says in that opinion is 100% true.

I don't see why it was needed. Civil partnerships took care of the legal rights. It seems like they weren't enough purely because of the name, and since that goes hand-in-hand with the tradition of religious marriage, there's no reason that tradition couldn't be kept (and I'm not religious).

>>64063112
Yes, but I read court cases now and again. They're really interesting. It started when I was really mad about some ruling, and was in an involved online debate about it. The debate got a little bogged down in details, so I read the opinion of the court. It really changed everything for me in terms of my ire towards the court system. I have since found that 99% of that ire is totally misplaced, that even Justices I disagree with (like Scalia for instance) are really reasonable people, and that most of my anger should be directed at the legislative branch which utterly fails to do its job.

9 times out of 10, if you don't like a court case, but READ the case, you'll see that the Justices are usually left in an impossible situation left by the legislature. "Judicial Activism" is kind of a bad meme.

I watch the odd political show most weeks, all year 'round. Judges names just never come up about anything. I couldn't even tell you if any politicians are even involved with appointing judges. As far as I know, judges appoint new judges. We do hear occasionally about a new law being shot down by the courts, and even then if they mention any judges names at all then you'd have never heard of them and they'd be instantly forgotten. Again, as far as I know, courts and judges don't have any strong link to partisan politics.

"Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't. Nobody ever thought that that's what it meant. Nobody ever voted for that. If the current society wants to outlaw discrimination by sex, hey we have things called legislatures, and they enact things called laws. You don't need a constitution to keep things up-to-date. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box. You don't like the death penalty anymore, that's fine. You want a right to abortion? There's nothing in the Constitution about that. But that doesn't mean you cannot prohibit it. Persuade your fellow citizens it's a good idea and pass a law. That's what democracy is all about. It's not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing these demands on society."

"The substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal importance to me. The law can recognize as marriage whatever sexual attachments and living arrangements it wishes, and can accord them favorable civil consequences, from tax treatment to rights of inheritance.Those civil consequences—and the public approval that conferring the name of marriage evidences—can perhaps have adverse social effects, but no more adverse than the effects of many other controversial laws. So it is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of theCourt’s claimed power to create “liberties” that theConstitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."

even on the crazy off chance that senate stalls the appointment until the next president gets in, i don't think anyone could properly fill this guy's shoes.

Honestly, the supreme court is more important than the presidency, at least in my eyes. In terms of doing stuff, anyway.

Sucks we lost a good man. If we don't get a republican as president who can appoint another conservative judge, then we're in for a rude fucking awakening if we think everything is awful NOW.

“To believe in traditional Christianity is something else,” he’s reported as having said. “For the son of God to be born of a virgin? I mean, really. To believe that he rose from the dead and bodily ascended into heaven? How utterly ridiculous. To believe in miracles? Or that those who obey God will rise from the dead and those who do not will burn in hell?”

“God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools … and he has not been disappointed.”

“If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.”

I feel like crying too. Casuals don't realize how huge this is. It's bigger than the election. W will feel the effects of this for decades and could be a huge turning point in American politics going forward.

Given, Scalia was nearly 80 and probably going to resign in the next few years anyway, but the timing could absolutely not be worse.

Obongo was probably smiling ear to ear when he heard this.

>>64068432
>Not wanting to sound like a bitch but I honestly want to cry. Scalia was a vanguard in our government protecting our rights and trying his best to turn the tide of degeneracy.
I think this is pretty overstated. Scalia wasn't on the side of protecting rights at all. He was on the side of keeping the constitution and its principles on stable footing. He's ruled for and against rights, though. Mostly he respected the limits of Federal government, even when it was inconvenient to his own biases.

With his death a seat on the supreme court has opened up.

If Obama manages to fill that seat, or if dems win the white house in november, the supreme court will be majority liberal

With a Court majority, they will be able to declare any and all liberal legislation constitutional.

For example if a gun rights/grabber case is brought to the supreme court, they will side with the grabbers each time. Don't be surprised if they rule that all guns except for 200 year old muskets with enough powder and ammo for one shot are banned from private ownership.

Other than Military and a few other things too large for any individual state to fund, all those things should be at the Local/state level

the issue is that we are at a point where many states are dependant on Fed money because they budget deficts, which lets the fed gain more power and the Fed is far easier to influence and control than 50 states and thousands of localities.

Everyone's saying they hope Obama can get a replacement confirmed before he leaves. Only chance in hell that will happen is if he appoints a milquetoast left-of-center choice.

But what about this...

This is our year. We already have an amazing, true progressive presidential candidate in Trump. Let's go all in. Let's flood the general election with unprecedented progressive/Republican turnout. Let's take back Congress, elect the most progressive President in 60 years, and line him up to appoint a major progressive justice that our new Congress will approve of.

>>64071861
I find this video distasteful. There is no question that laws are based on morals. Suggesting adherence to law is not totally decoupling law from morality, instead it just leaves open the question of where the relationship between law and morality lies. In the US that question is unambiguously answered: the people, with the legislature as their proxy.

>having to defend Scalia on this the day of his death
I wish I could just go to fucking bed and wake up three years ago already.

>UNITED STATES, PETITIONER v. X CITEMENT VIDEO, INC., et al.

>I can neither understand nor approve of the disposition urged by the United States before this Court and adopted today, which not only rewrites the statute, but (1) rewrites it more radically than its constitutional survival demands, and (2) raises baseless constitutional doubts that will impede congressional enactment of a law providing greater protection for the child victims of the pornography industry. The Court today saves a single conviction by putting in place a relatively toothless child pornography law that Congress did not enact, and by rendering congressional strengthening of that new law more difficult. I respectfully dissent.

tl;dr - You want a better law - ask congress, not us. Sadly, the rest of the court figured "yes, lawmaking, that sounds like our job."

Scalia will soon be sorely missed.

no, they are just as corrupt but there are a LOT MORE of them so rather than just bribe a handful of Federal officials you have to bribe a handful of State officials in every single state. Which is a much harder task.

There isn't an explicit Constitutional right to abortion. The Justices ruled it was implied based on an expectation of privacy. Scalia's dissent is a great example of his notorious strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Constitution does not prohibit the death penalty.

>Scalia concurred in the 1990 case of Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health in which the family of a woman in a vegetative state sought to have her feeding tube removed so she would die, believing that to have been her wish

The case quoted in >>64069647 wasn't about gay marriage. It was about Lawrence vs. Texas (2003) where two men were arrested having sex in private (in a home belonging to one of the men) The Court basically struck down Texas' sodomy law, arguing that they violated the due process clause of the 14th amendment.

Scalia's dissent essentially focused on the slippery slope argument (e.g. striking down sodomy will eventually lead to beastiality, bigamy, etc.) and the argument that intimacy was not a right guaranteed in the constitution.

I disagree with Scalia's views severely, but he was brilliant and committed and his death was tragic.

He won't want to make the issue of selecting a court justice one that republicans can point to and say "this is who liberals want in the courts"
Also, three candidates are senators, republican and democrat.
If he picks too liberal, Sanders might side against it, and that'll look baaaaaad.

>>64022842
Good fucking riddance.

Should have died sooner.

>>64022842
>the supreme court will now be left leaning as shit
well shit, there goes democracy.
goodbye based scalia.

>>64077562
Just noticed your flag flair. Why the fuck am I talking to you? American politics based on the constitution enable degeneracy and self-destruction.I'm just pointing out how it's hypocritical for /pol/ to push alt-right/anti-degeneracy politics while embracing a milquetoast Beltway Republican judge. This has nothing to do with his job. His job as it currently exists is an abomination that's a result of almost two centuries of judicial overreach.

>>64077533
Definately.

3 options:
1) Hold the hearings and then vote down any nominee. They have the majority.
2) Fillabuster. Hold the hearings but have 40+ Senators vote to not invoke cloture which keeps the nominee stalled.
3) Senate Leader simply doesn't schedule a hearing. He controls the calendar.

All have risks for different reasons. Obama will definitely nominate someone. Then we will see which option they choose. I predict they will try #3 first, but Democrats may throw a fucking tantrum over it.

>>64077533
Most judges seem relatively moderate. Unfortunately it's not easy for either side to ferret out judges before they're nominated, which is why the nominations are so contentious.

>>64077086

Did Bush listen to Reid then? No?

Sounds like Obama has all the precedent he needs then.

these le lerrddit scum think they've won something. The unfortunately nees for them is that the last adult on the SCOTUS is gone, for aobama rompelace with some psychotic liberal negrees,
Won't be"feeling the bern" when society is fucking imploding around,

>I'm just pointing out how it's hypocritical for /pol/ to push alt-right/anti-degeneracy politics while embracing a milquetoast Beltway Republican judge.
>/pol/ is one person

That aside, you gotta work with what you have. Scalia was among the best options in the court.
>American politics based on the constitution enable degeneracy and self-destruction.
So in short, you simply hate freedom, and can't foresee a future where your political opponents hold all the power you want to hand to the government.

Also, it's amazing how you rant against judical overreach and against the one justice who has consistently complained about judical overreach.

>>64077824

>If he picks too liberal, Sanders might side against it, and that'll look baaaaaad.

You fucking wot? I can't imagine any candidate being "too liberal" for Sanders to support short of (maybe) a literal communist.

>>64078096
>implying obama isn't a piece of shit
>implying bush wasn't a piece of shit
>implying making literal kangaroo courts are a good thing
oh boy but good thing we will throw them "right wing extremists" into gitmo eh?

>>64022842
...did Obama have Scalia assassinated?

>>64078286

If Obama had his way Gitmo would be closed, I'm not sure what point you're making.

>>64078300
Yes

>>64078300
Hopefully.

>>64078176
>you simply hate freedom

OMG can you be anymore cucked? And once again why are you arguing about this with me? Don't you have some rapefugees to shelter?

>Also, it's amazing how you rant against judical overreach and against the one justice who has consistently complained about judical overreach.

Gonzales v. Raich. Scalia was a hypocrite on this subject.

>>64077824
>If he picks too liberal, Sanders might side against it, and that'll look baaaaaad.

This is the stupidest thing I've read all week.

>>64078345
>If Obama had his way Gitmo would be closed
I'm not sure you realize this, but what obama says and what obama wants are wholly different things.

>>64078300
nah probably shillary did though for when the election is inevitably brought to the supreme court again and she auto wins because of a pack of she boons on the supreme court.

>>64078345
anon obama had a supermajority of dems in congress at one point, its literally his own damn fault gitmo is still open.

>>64078286
>literal kangaroo courts
>LITERAL KANGAROO COURTS
Dear God, NO! The marsupial world order has begun! Their powerful hind legs, massive tails, and child-rearing pouches will destroy our judicial system!

>>64078417

He really does want Gitmo closed though. He's still trying to find a way to do it, even though Congress has made it all but impossible.

Libertarian here for Scalia

We must stop Obama for putting in a a political separatist from being on the Supreme Court

Scalia was assassinated for blocking the Obama administration on carbon taxes.

>>64043872
Small government types love it when you obstruct the legislative process to a screeching halt. There's nothing more they love than electing people to not do their jobs, and then act as if its a virtue. And as far as "independents/moderates" go, the Republicans gained even more seats in Congress after "shutting down" the government.

>>64078386
>Gonzales v. Raich. Scalia was a hypocrite on this subject.
Why? Because he didn't argue against the feds have a power no one disputed they have?
>>64078561
No, not "even though", but "because".

It's a PR issue for him. So he gets to keep gitmo while looking anti-gitmo.

>>64077533

No chance. Historically, appointing a supreme court justice takes about 2-3 months.

>>64022842
Now if all the other shitbags would just keel over we might have some hope for the future...

>>64022842
Gonna miss his defense of the second amendment.

Not going to miss him placing his religious affiliation above his duty to the country.

What happens in these situations where votes have already been taken, and they are just waiting for june to release decisions?
The negroes wist ne celebrating bc the most outspoken critic of "affirmative blacktion" on the court is dead. I.d bet evrn some of the liberal scum on court aren't thrilled bc thry could count on him to say whst they were actually thinking.
Given thst obams has appointed 2 radical nebroes as AG, will he hsb balls to do same with a Supreme opening?

>>64078561
By looking for a way to close it, you mean looking for a way to get Congress to share responsibility for anything bad that comes from closing gitmo. It's a military base. He can close gitmo just by ordering it closed. What he wants is to hide behind "bipartisan agreement" if the inmates go back to being terrorists,

RIP
CONDOLENCES

I guarantee you the Republicans won't want to nominate someone but the media will launch a huge shilling campaign basically saying "HURRRDURRR THESE PEOPLE WON'T NOMINATE SOMEONE" and it'll be Government Shutdown 2.

It's only a matter of time until some ultracuck goes over and nominates some libshit to the court. Good bye gunrights. Good bye closed borders. Good bye constitution.

>>64078763
> feds have a power no one disputed they have

Growing weed in your backyard is interstate commerce? Thomas made the right conservative argument in this case. Thomas is what Scalia pretended to be while shilling for Beltway Republicans.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
FUCK SCALIA
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT

he wasn't even trying to make sense towards the end, he was just being a corrupt shitbag

good riddance

I'm not a political geek like the rest of you but didn't this guy side with corporations owning elections in the Citizens United case? He can rot

>>64078763

>It's a PR issue for him. So he gets to keep gitmo while looking anti-gitmo.

Except he's been persistently releasing inmates or transferring them to other countries. The PR from closing Gitmo would be a bigger accomplishment than just being anti-Gitmo but unable to do anything.

>>64078873

The inmates could have been transferred to federal prisons within the US but Congress wouldn't allow that.
