Precedent

I probably haven't mentioned lately how much I hate Antonin Scalia, one of the five justices who threw precedent out the window in 2000 to ensure his Republican buddy would win the presidency by stopping the vote counting in Florida. Now he says, "Get over it."

Uh, excuse me? Isn't the whole judicial system based on precedent? Should we just ignore precedents?

I wonder how Scalia would respond if I told him to "get over it" referring to Roe v Wade?

He's such an intellectually dishonest tool. Smart guy, yes. Brilliant legal mind. But a total partisan hack who has been a blight on the court and a best friend to wingnuts and corporate America alike. If only he would use his powers for good, but he's a Republican, so I guess that isn't possible.
