1. Scalia is all too happy to let the people decide

through their elected representatives what and whose rights should be infringed or abolished.

Sure, let's codify all the fear, ignorance and hatred we want.

He misses the point of the judiciary, which is to provide justice.

He misses the point of SCOTUS, which is to provide equal justice from sea to shining sea.

All in all I find him and his so-called "originalist" philosophy to be quite unfit for the highest court in the land.

Scalia can rotate.
