I know what you mean. Scalia not only is a pathetic ideologue but he’s a condescending jackass too.

And a dangerous jackass at that. From an “Ethics in America”
panel that Scalia participated in back in 1989. (issues are presented as hypotheticals, then info is added to see how it changes people’s views)

… At the moment where the moderator indicated that the innocent man was about to be executed for a crime he didn’t commit, Justice Scalia spoke up: “Well, he probably did something else wrong anyway.”

Yeah, Tony’s always been a charmer.

BTW—if you’ve never watched it, “Ethics in America” was a great series and features the “wit and wisdom” of younger versions of C. Everett Koop, Scalia, Giulliani, Peter Jennings, Mike Wallace etc.
