This quotation from the article is also terrible:

A former district attorney, Specter also bemoaned what he called the lack of any current justices comparable to legal heavyweights like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo and Thurgood Marshall, "who were giants of the Supreme Court." "With all due respect to the (current) U.S. Supreme Court, we don't have one," he said.

GAG!

Well of course not...All those guys are dead!

And this guy's a senator? Geez...even I knew they were dead.

He's ridiculous. Scalia is a legal genius. His decisions and dissents will be studied for decades.

Yes, that quote is moronic.

Must be nice to consider one's self competent to make this judgement. I suppose Specter thinks he is a legal heavyweight passing judgement on legal lightweights.

It's like calling someone a thinking person...You assign yourself the position of being able to judge thinking people. A truly superior position to be in I suppose.
