Scalia is unfit to serve: A justice who rejects science and the law for religion is of unsound mind

Full title: Antonin Scalia is unfit to serve: A justice who rejects science and the law for religion is of unsound mind

Readers of this column already know that faith-derangement syndrome has stricken the highest levels of the executive branch of government, afflicting President Obama and virtually all his potential successors. Now we have evidence that it has spread to the top organ of the judiciary, the Supreme Court.

But first, a clarification. Sufferers of faith-derangement syndrome (FDS) exhibit the following symptoms: unshakable belief in the veracity of manifest absurdities detailed in ancient texts regarding the origins of the cosmos and life on earth; a determination to disseminate said absurdities in educational institutions and via the media; a propensity to enjoin and even enforce (at times using violence) obedience to regulations stipulated in said ancient texts, regardless of their suitability for contemporary circumstances; the conviction that an invisible, omnipresent, omniscient authority (commonly referred to as “God”) directs the course of human and natural events, is vulnerable to propitiation and blandishments, and monitors individual human behavior, including thought processes, with an especially prurient interest in sexual activity.

Scalia’s Roman Catholicism is mentioned in the article, so you might be interested.

I thought there was freedom of religion in this country. Looks like the Salon never heard of it.

The childish snarkiness of the author is almost palpable. I just love the snide little digs -- it comes right through in the article just how clever the author thinks s/he is. You can just see the author simpering at his/her own cutting wit.

faith-derangement syndrome

That would be environmentalism as a religion?

The unsound minds are in the heads of Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Kagan, and Breyer. They just make it up as they go along, never mind what the law, facts or evidence.

Scalia and Ginsberg have been close personal friends for two decades, you know. :)

The justice claims to be an originalist, but his real loyalty is to religion and a phony man in the sky

Just another main-stream democratic showing his hate for the Almighty.

I pity him really.
