Scalia Recuses From Pledge Case
Justice Scalia will not be hearing the "Pledge of Allegiance" case, because he recused himself. That's a shame....no sarcasm intended. As Paul Greenburg says,
Whether you agree or disagree with an opinion from Justice Scalia, and I regularly do both, you can always understand it, see how he came by it and where he would have the law go. That is a lot more than one can say about the vaporous effusions from most of the other justices.
Whether or not I agree, I always enjoy reading Scalia's opinions. He writes and argues well, which is unfortunately a rare quality on the Court these days.
My vision of judicial hell is being locked into a room and forced to listen, "Clockwork Orange" fashion, to the collected works of the Ginsburgs, Breyers, Souters, et al. Those types would make you long for the company of an aluminum siding salesman.
*shudder* I couldn't agree more.
Thanks for the nightmares.
