This is because Republicans only like activist courts when it rules in what they believe in. I.E. Bush v. Gore, Citizens United, Health Care. Either way, we all will still hear the crying and complaining from this group of people. It never ends.

Why us it when a conservative dissents with the majority they are anti American, but when a liberal dissents, they are patriots?

The problem was not the dissent. The problem was the partisan rant from a supposed 'impartial' judge.

Where's Thomas? Danziger could have depicted him with a gag over his mouth and waving his third digit. He's like Scalia except he never says anything.

I could write a four-line BASIC program on my old 8-bit Atari to do what Thomas does.

Thomas can be depicted as a sock puppet on Scalia's hand.

Can you even imagine a united nation with fifty differing immigration laws?
Scalia has shown his distaste for the constitution before, but this is pathetic.

"Can you even imagine a united nation with fifty differing immigration laws?"

You would have a point if AZ's law was different than the feds, but it's not.

Then again, we have 50 different driving laws, 50 different state police organizations, 50 different marriage laws, 50 different income taxes & sales taxes, etc.

That is one of the nice things about the 50 states; If you don't like the way they do things where you are, move one that makes you happy. I chose Florida because it doesn't snow much and their are no state income taxes.

In legal theory discussions the concepts of "originalism" and "strict constructionism" mean one thing, but in practice "originalism" and "strict constructionism" more often than not are pseudo-intellectual attempts to turn the Constitution into the Bible: A document written by an infallible being whose will only a certain elite group can divine, which they will then translate into laws and rules that you must obey and the rich can ignore.

Well, no. They do not try to turn it into a Bible. Strict constructionists know that there is a mechanism for correcting it. But most leftists (progressives & President "Constitutional Scholar" Obama) don't know or understand that part and believe they can change the meaning of words and then do what they want. That's like signing for a car loan and having the bank's board of directors determine that 1.4% per month per year really and they change the maning of the word year to mean 13 months, so you must pay more.

The constitution cannot be a set document. Times change and so do social issues. The constitution needs to be used as a piece that is always evolving and becoming better. This is how great nations stay great and companies stay profitable. If each business did not change with the times, there would be nothing left of them.

Yeah, I'm with you brother. We won't want any of that nasty 'enforcing the law' stuff. We can pick and choose which laws to enforce and and which ones we don't like.

In the culture from which this man comes, the fist is the greatest sign of disrespect a man can show. The cartoon is quite apt.

Scalia is Italian, although none of us would claim him.

Which Scalia was that? The one pro-states rights, or the one anti-states rights?

Both were on display Monday.
