Youse Gotta Problem?

There is no doubt whatsoever, in his heart of hearts Scalia embodies the very worst of the modern republican. He gives an Italian gesture to the media, which appears to have many meanings, determined by things such as geography. For Scalia to say it is not an obscene gesture is fine and plausible, except for one little detail. It was accompanied by the obscenity, "Vaffanculo!" Google that. Literally it means "take it up the a**", and the accepted meanings are cruder. If I said to someone "F*** you in the a**hole!" and accompanied it with a salute or a peace sign, those become obscene gestures by context.

This at nearly the same time Scalia publicly all but told the world of his decision in a case for which he has not even heard arguments. His statement is more appropriate to a shrill politician trying to get extremist votes. If he doesn't believe in the rule of law, maybe he should rethink his career. He's acting like the power of his office has gone to his head. It wasn't all that long ago he defiantly refused to recuse himself when there was an apparent (and egregious in my mind) conflict of interest when ruling on Cheney's secret meeting with oil tycoons.

Does "Sonny" Scalia the notorious publicity hound see himself as capo to godfather w? Some flamboyant gangster film Mafioso? We know what happens to those guys. I'd advise him to stay away from toll booths. At least until there is a more moderate president to appoint a replacement.

PS - The ***'s redactions are so republicans can read this. This because the mildest to the vilest of obscenities can't be handled by conservatives, unless it comes from one of their masters.
