Scalia consistently harmed the most vulnerable

The death of anyone is always cause for sorrow. Moreover Justice Antonin Scalia was unusual -- a man of considerable intellect who used it to frequently dominate the give and take of oral argument at the Supreme Court. But make no mistake about it: His mode of interpretation, be it of statutes or constitution, almost invariably harmed the most vulnerable who came to the courts seeking redress for their claims.

There is still slavery all over the world.

Vanity Fair just had a lengthy article on it.

If the BLM crowd could read they would count their blessings.

Did he show sorrow for Justice Scalia while he was bashing him?

Perhaps even more revealing was his series of votes in 1989 providing such a cramped view of job discrimination law that Congress, Republicans as well as Democrats, saw fit to reverse them -- first through the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and then with the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.

IOWs he applied the law as it was written by Congress and forced Congress to do its job and change the laws that they write to be what they wanted the law to be.

He did what a Justice is supposed to do.

“The death of anyone is always cause for sorrow . . . “ but,

What a lying POS. He celebrated Scalia’s passing, we all know it. And just days after here is this poor excuse for a human being telling us Justice Scalia “consistently harmed the most vulnerable” What BS. Do any of these people understand a lick about The Constitution, the role of the Federal courts?
