Justice Scalia

Scalia has been dead for 7 years.

All the current shit going on with the SC, and they pick this to write about?

It’s not about Scalia, it’s explaining the concept of justices making rulings based on their own identity and beliefs instead of facts and logic. To, you know, explain “All the current shit going on with the SC”.

Bribery, corrruption, and buying court decisions are the issues of today.

Personal identity and beliefs don’t factor in when its already bought and paid for.

If they have to go back 7 years to being up an example, that would indicate it is very rare they use only their identity to determine rulings.

I don’t doubt they often ignore science but this article indicates that is not the case. Is there not something recent they could refer to?

Clerks don’t talk about justices that are serving or about the court while the clerk is serving.
