If the far right extremists and the crazier libertarians on this Board well represent the thinking of their comrades, the Republic is safe. What a bunch of crackpots.

The foolishness of your OP title? This is a lame thread.
Cry me a fucking river why dontcha.
c'mon ovah heah, sonny. Nobody lashed out at anybody, that is the point.
Scalia is wrong, but who cares?
Judicial activism at it's worst.
And why is a SCOTUS Justice commenting on politics? It just reenforces the view that Scalia made his decision based on politics instead of the Constitution.
Judicial activism at its worst.
Scalia is right. It's like the Constitution wasn't even written for the states.
There you go. Fixed.
The Constitution was written for the people
Some said it was highly unusual, and perhaps out of line, for Scalia to cite Obama's announcement in mid-June that he was granting a two-year reprieve to young people who entered the country illegally as children. Obama may have called it "the right thing to do," Scalia said, but "Arizona may not think so."
Usually, the justices rely only on what is in the legal record of the case.
Liberal commentators and some law professors said Scalia's tone was strident and partisan.
He is "sounding more like a conservative blogger or Fox News pundit than a justice," said George Washington University law professor Jeffrey Rosen.
Paul F. Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, wrote on Salon about Scalia: "In his old age, he has become increasingly intolerant … and a pompous celebrant of his own virtue and rectitude."
Edward Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a former Scalia law clerk, said Scalia "was responding directly to the government's own argument. Scalia's basic point was to illustrate that the Arizona law didn't conflict with federal immigration law but instead was at odds with the current administration's refusal to enforce federal laws."
Scalia, now 76 and the court's senior justice, spoke only for himself. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented as well, but did so in separate opinions. It was hard to miss the fact that Scalia's reproach was directed at an opinion that spoke for Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, the two who are likely to hold the deciding votes in the court's healthcare ruling, set for Thursday.

Scalia is starting to lose it.
"You kids get off my lawn!"
How old is he, anyway?

Scalia was correct and Obama did lash out by directing ice not to respond to Arizona's calls post decision.

Nope on both accounts. Scalia makes law and Obama correctly directed ICE to act appropriately,
To oppose the feds when the issue has been decided?
That is treason, Frank, and your are here supporting treason.

The left invented juducial activism, so what the heck are you talking about?
Got an example? No. Just more of Rush's command to "accuse the other side of what you yourself are doing".
Give me an example of a reasonable suspicion that someone is an illegal that has nothing to do with race. Good luck!
It's 'citing', dumbass. Now cite an example.
So if the SCOTUS goes around Congress to strike down the ACA on Thursday, that would be an example of activism. Thanks! I may add your quote to my sigline on Friday.Going around Congress or ignoring current law is activism.
It's funny that it was the Scalia that had the "curious" notion that if a person is incarcerated but not charged with any crimes, they are not protected by the Constitution.
And this is a judge that is the hero of the right.
Oh that and he thinks a good orgy is a good way to relieve stress.
Jake called Frank a traitor to the law. Pull your fist out of your butt and start thinking for a change.
This is decided, son. There is no more except calling for the overthrow of the government.
