Justice Scalia calls people who disagree with him "idiots", refers to self in third person.

PONCE, Puerto Rico (AP) -- People who believe the Constitution would break if it didn't change with society are "idiots," U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says.

In a speech Monday sponsored by the conservative Federalist Society, Scalia defended his long-held belief in sticking to the plain text of the Constitution "as it was originally written and intended."

"Scalia does have a philosophy, it's called originalism," he said. "That's what prevents him from doing the things he would like to do," he told more than 100 politicians and lawyers from this U.S. island territory.


Sure, stick to the Constitution "as it was originally...intended" in the 18th century. White, Christian, land-owning males should not have to pay tax on tea. That's the basis for all good juridprudence, everything else is just fluff.

The Supreme Court Justice was later heard to say, "Scalia is hungry! Euegene Meyer, bring Scalia a meatball sub! Ugh! Idiot! This sandwich contains Swiss cheese! Swiss cheese displeases Scalia! Which among you will curry favor with Scalia by bringing him a meatball sub with provalone, such as is better fitting Scalia's taste? Go forth, minions of Scalia, and returneth not until Scalia's hunger has been sated!"

Now, what I'd really like to know is, what exactly are the "things he would like to do" that only his "philosophy" prevents him from doing? Eating the hearts of unbaptized babies? Bathing in the blood of virgins? What does the real Scalia want? Thanks to the framers, we may never know.
