The other scary part of Scalia's rant was how he completely dismisses the Bill of Rights

Posted by amoxy (aka amoxy) Dec 12 '12, 10:16

He is a menace

He also dismissed the importance of the Bill of Rights as an �afterthought,� compared to the U.S. Constitution�s overall structure, observing, �Every tinhorned dictator in the world has a bill of rights.� (thinkprogress.org)

Responses:

- when you get pmb to swear you know you're truly loathsome. -- nm - Melkor Profit Dec 12, 10:42
tinhorned? Does he mean tin pot? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 12, 10:19 1
