Baloney! You have NO idea what Justice Scalia would or would not do in private practice.
And in three or fourYEARS, Roberts gave 12 HOURS of his time, to a colleague, to help prepare for this case.
Playboy is on cable, you have to pay extra for the channel, and what about this case is sticking in your craw...besides the fact that Scalia dissented?
You have NO idea what Justice Scalia would or would not do in private practice.
I do have an idea of Scalia's opinions of lawyers and their involvement in the culture war. From his
Romer (re. Colorado/homosexuality) dissent:
When the Court takes sides in the culture wars, it tends to be with the knights rather than the villeins [a.k.a. commoners, peasants]
- and more specifically with the Templars, reflecting the views and values of the lawyer class from which the Court's Members are drawn.
I also know enough about Scalia's integrity to say with 100% certainty, that if he were a partner at a law firm and was asked to help Playboy or the gay litigants in the
Romer case, he would have refused.
