Before it slips through the crack–Neener, Nino

You remember Nino, don’t you? Antonin Scalia, the Supreme Court Justice. The man who went hunting with Dick Cheney and DIDN’T get shot. As you know, Nino was the chief architect and the guy who bullied Justice Kennedy into voting for Bush. And it is this decision that is responsible for the last eight years we’ve had with a jackass as president (I can’t bring myself to capitalize president for Bush). And for the assholeries that we’ve had to endure. Well, Nino was interviews the other week by Leslie Stahl for 60 MINUTES. She asked him about Bush v. Gore and this !@#$%^&*() had the nerve to say that people should “GET OVER IT.” Get Over It? It’s going to take 25 years, if not 50, to recover from Bush’s presidency. GET OVER IT? I’ll bet somebody made out like a bandit the last eight years. Every time I think of those words, I get too #$%^&*( mad to type anything coherent. So instead, read this analysis by William Betz in the Baltimore Chronicle: Getting Over Scalia. He gives a great rundown of why this decision is one of the most #$%^&*(ed-up decisions by any Supreme Court.

Get Over It. You can bet your bottom dollar that Nino has never gotten over Roe v. Wade and that he’s just aching for a chance to overturn THAT decision. And his defense will be–Get over it…
