Franken Takes Shot at the Late Antonin Scalia’s Understanding of the Constitution

Franken is a ADD, OCD, semi-retarded autistic moron compare to Scalia.

[eyeamok]

I keep waiting for some enterprising reporter to actually Quote the COnstitution as a question to these smug marxist liberals, just to Publicly Embarrass them and demonstrate their Moral Bankruptcy and plain stupidity.

[NEMDF]

Because nothing demonstrates “class” more than bashing a dead patriot, right Al? GEEEEEZ

[RideForever]

Fake News. No legal argument presented. Just more liberal gaslighting clogging up FR.

[Leep]

Strike that compared to anyone Franken is is a ADD, OCD, semi-retarded autistic moron.

It’s sad to see Franken, an elected senator, have such a fundamentally poor understanding of the US Constitution and rule of law. Justice Scalia would have upheld any LGBT amendments that were lawfully passed per the constitutional amendment processes. What Scalia did not support was judicial barbarism, i.e. amending the constitution on the fly by appointing judges who were willing to shred it for political goals.

I prefer a constitution that wouldn’t nurture such divisions in the first place.

[CitizenUSA]

Except that Scalia would have supported abortion if an abortion amendment was legitimately passed. He would have been personally opposed—I think—but he would have stood for the rule of law. As I understand it, he saw the US Constitution as a legal contract between the people and government. One doesn’t just change the terms of a contract without following the rules. To do otherwise—even if the cause is just—tears apart the legal framework that holds diverse people together in a civil society.

[GladesGuru]

“Franken-stupid” blathering on Scalia’s being an Originalist goes beyond asinine and into deeply deluded.

Nobody can squat like Al.

He’s a world champion squatter.

Needs correction, “Sen. Al Frankenturd (D., Minn.)”.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Tune in next week, when Al Franken corrects the erroneous football strategies of Bill Belichick.

[zbogwan2]

Justice Scalia wouldn’t dirty his hands, so to speak, debating a less than half wit like Franken on anything? If Justice Scalia did school Franken on the Constitution, it’s likely that Franken would just not comprehend and walk away dumbly mumbling incoherent nothingness!?

[COBOL2Java]

Fake News. No legal argument presented. Just more liberal gaslighting clogging up FR.

FR is a forum where people can post their opinions on the current issues of the day. Franken's antics are quite relevant for discussion, as can be seen by the responses. On the contrary, it is NOT "fake news".

Why you would consider a fellow Freepers' posting of this issue as somehow "clogging" FR is something for which I have a strong disagreement.

[rocksblues]

Al Franken just being Al Franken.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I pay no attention to a person whose only claim to fame is he was a clown, a Court Jester below the level of Wamba the Fool.

"It troubles me that at this critical juncture in our nation's history, at this moment when our country is libtards are so fixated on things that divide us from one another,

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I don’t remember Franken being funny at all.

[proud American in Canada]

Oh, yes.... Nothing better than an SNL writer who critiques a brilliant jurist. /s

“the document he revered looks very different from the one I have sworn to defend”

Then the document you have sworn to defend is a FAKE.
