A) I've yet to see a SCOTUS opinion in which I disagreed with Thomas, even when he disagreed with Scalia. This case is no exception. We don't need more Scalias or Alitos -- we need more Thomases.
B) I can't stand the fact that most of my fellow libertarians voted for Gary Johnson just because he won the Libertarian Party primary and because he was for the legalization of pot. Hello! There's a lot more to being libertarian than being pro-pot! Hello, McFly, Johnson was for a carbon tax. Not even big government Trump was for a carbon tax. We should all be embarrassed that the only person on the general ballot against a carbon tax was Trump. Can you imagine our lives today if a carbon tax had been put in place because either Hillary, Stein, or Johnson won the presidency?
A) You and I both. 100%. I love Scalia but Thomas is simply a better justice.
B) Yup. He’s basically a nut.
I’m a conservatarian. You can look at that as a Libertarian except being for a strong global defense and against abortion, or a conservative without the bloated nanny state on most moral issues but staunchly anti-abortion.
Scalia, unfortunately, was for big government and vast bureaucratic power in total collusion with the left so that he could impose his religious dogma on the country, particularly with regard to the injunction against intoxicating substances. He was prepared to let the left get away with murder in areas like Wickard v Filburn so he could piggyback his religious nanny state on it.
