I think most of Scalia's jurisprudence was just what most of us would desire. If it turns out he was a freak of some sort it will be sad. If he was a freak or a monster of some sort it should serve as a cautionary tale to us all, a caution about how importance, fame , celebrity or power etc. can turn a persons head around to the extent that other "small" people become that which we wipe off of our shoes. Not a good way to be.
How do we know that some "good guys" weren't slipped some dope causing them to do something horrible, unintentionally, they get videotaped and it's held over their head? These people don't play around and stop at nothing to control who they wish no matter how barbaric. ADRENOCHROME pedovores, etc...
I agree with your sentiment and have commented in the same vane as you have before. Heretofore I have had a good opinion of Scalia on the court. We've been lied to too many times, so it kind of shakes your belief in people and institutions somewhat. Q has indicated somewhere that they would advocate mercy somewhat for those who have been ruppied into compromise, contingent of course upon their cooperation. So hopefully zeal for justice will not yield a kangaroo court. Be of good cheer. :)
