Cruel and unusual punishment is no defense against torture.

Absolutely convoluted, sick and twisted.

This guy would fit like a glove in a Taliban regime.

6. He is there in accordance with the Consitituion of the United States

2. The ticking time bomb argument again? Let me walk Antonin through this.

Let's say you're Jack Bauer from "24" and you have a terror suspect who knows where the bomb is. You waterboard him and demand "Where's the bomb? NY or LA?" The suspect says LA. So you send your agents to LA to find and diffuse the bomb. An hour later, the bomb explodes, IN NEW YORK!

So how does waterboarding work in the "ticking time bomb" scenario?

5. He's nuttier than Rehnquist...

...and Rehnquist was nuckin' futty!

[Gman]

7. Well, he'll be recused when the issue reaches the SCOTUS

again... resulting in a 4-4 decision and upholding a lower court outlawing waterboarding.

8. Oh that piece of shit stinks up the court every time he enters the room.

I've been told he is brilliant, seems like a dullard to me.

9. Scalia is the epitome of the "Western Mullah"

Issuing decrees and fatwas that affect the whole world.

Not through reilgious edicts, but at the point of a US gun.

Real mullahs only WISH they had such power.
