The Supreme Scalia

Well, it's time to man up. I have to say that over the last couple of days, the Supreme Court acted semi-properly. I say semi because there is still room for improvement. For instance in Arizona, they could have and should have stopped police from stopping people and arresting them if they "thought" they "might" be illegal. But in fairness the the Chief Justice, John Roberts broke with the conservative branch to uphold the Affordable Care Act, AKA Obamacare. What's still troubling is justice Antonin Scalia. There's a guy that's so partisan that he's willing to make the Supreme Court look like a nasty divorce. He's willing to be so partisan that he will stand up, with the court in session, and complain about the president and his decissions. That's not what the court was designed to do. The Supreme Court, Mr Scalia, is not an attack ad filming location. It would almost appear that justice Scalia is a bit out of sorts. Is he losing his grip on reality? Is he suffering from senility? He is a poster child for term limits for the Supreme Court. One term. Say twenty five years. No second term. Or maybe an age limit. How old is Scalia. Whatever it is, that should be the age you gotta quit. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike him. I don't even know him. I just don't like his new-found style. I guess this would be a good time to institute a set of rules of conduct and ethics. He'd never pass any such thing.
