"When judges act like whores, they can hardly expect to be treated like nuns."

Dr. Sowell nailed it!

LOL. He could have said only that. Says it all. We could call it a Scalia-ism.

"When judges act like whores, they can hardly expect to be treated like nuns.”

If judges confined themselves to acting like judges, instead of legislating from the bench, creating new "rights" out of thin air that are nowhere to be found in the Constitution, maybe Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees would not be such bitter and ugly ideological battles.

We could call it a Scalia-ism.

I recently saw a video in which Scalia did say exactly that, if in different words.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet says, “Get thee to a nunnery.” I read somewhere that “nunnery” in this case meant “brothel.”

For sure they are whores. and the politicians are as well.

But they didn't elect themselves, did they?
