A strong and rare verbal rebuke of the majority (sans "moderate" Sandra Day) from Capo Scalia:
"The court proclaims itself the sole arbiter of our nation's moral standards — and in the course of discharging that awesome responsibility purports to take guidance from the views of foreign courts and legislatures," Scalia said. "I do not believe that the meaning of our [Constitution] should be determined by the subjective views of five members of this court and like-minded foreigners."
His reference to sole arbiter is bizzare to say the least, 30 states say that the killing of those under 18 by the state is wrong.
What he hates about the majority's decision in reference to "foreigners" is that there is a move to recognize and embrace international trends in jurisprudence. He hates this because he's a bigot and a nationalist. And did I mention he thinks killing kids is a good idea?!

Good points. As I understand it, he is also PO'd that the SCOTUS isn't letting the states make their own decisions on this. That's just a joke, considering his court overrode Florida's SC in order to place GWB in office.
Totally off the subject, I just LOVED the pic of Ward Churchill on the front page of the J/S web site today. Maybe he always looks that way...
SCOTUS? What's the reference?
The Jenitel article was actually pretty good, except for a few snide comments. They gave him more than two sentences to clarify his remarks which for the most part I agree with. Good for the Jenitel. I don't think I have ever said that before. He is an odd looking bloke. I loved his comments about the criticism of him as a "white" man!
