1. That ran through my mind in the morning

2. Even if he did

you know the puke would trot him out like they did that racist POS Strom Thurmond. He'd be drooling all over himself and they'd still pretend he had the authority to carry out his position. All of course with the full consent of his family who don't give a shit that he's being used.

3. Thurmond at least retired.

Something I remember because it was at an event "honoring" him that Trent Lott made the comments that lead to his downfall.

I don't know if Scalia has Alzheimer's, but the legacy of politicians refusing to resign in spite of incapacity, and insisting to take their titles to the grave should end.

5. I thought you were going to say "reagan".

4. It looks like Scalia impaired

6. The bigger question to me is why his many clerks did not catch the error...

I find it hard to imagine THEY did not catch it. Are they all cowed by him and afraid to point out his errors? Are one or more setting him up for embarrassment? If he is "losing it", is this their way of letting others know?

Hmmmm.....

7. Seriously, how could Scalia becoming mentally impaired make things worse?

Who would you rather have as an adversary? An evil man at the height of his powers? Or an evil man who's falling apart?
