Once again, Justice Scalia gets it wrong.

Once again, Justice Scalia gets it wrong. CNN reporting what Newsweek uncovered CNN.com - Report: Scalia against rights for Gitmo detainees - Mar 26, 2006 demonstrates a certain disdain for human rights and, perhaps even more importantly, a disdain for the ethics that should govern an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Speaking publically about a case that is coming before him at the court, Scalia sounds far less like a jurist than an advocate. Placing personal principles before an impartial hearing is, it seems to me, without ethical foundation. Scalia is a very smart man. He even gets it right sometimes--but not often. He is far smarter than this story makes him out to be.
