...A group of students (click title to entry - thank you) calling itself the "Scalia Welcoming Committee" says it will protest outside the lecture beginning at 6 p.m. They claim Scalia represents "unjust and oppressive political systems" and "corporate control of elections."
Members of the "Occupy" movement also plan to protest. The movement is critical of the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in the Citizens United case that declared political spending by corporations and unions free speech and made it possible for super PACs to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money.
Scalia voted with the 5-4 majority in the case.

The hypocrisy of Scalia is profound.  He believes in strict construction according to the founders of the USA Constitution so long as the founders are NOT in opposition to his personal agenda.



Justice Scalia says Thomas Jefferson was irrational


Justice Scalia objects to the intellectual pursuits of Thomas Jefferson as if Jefferson himself were one of the Apostles.  If Thomas Jefferson wanted to toy with his Bible while attending to Christian beliefs under the First Amendment he had the right to do it.  I would like to know how many Christian preachers do the exact same thing every Sunday and get away with it.  I mean really, do we have to consider Scalia the only one with God on his side.
