I no longer have any reason to keep my politics to myself. Bring it.

Where is the cream of the crop of the GOG Conservative Intellectual A-List Heavyweights, like Leonardo & Shadowstalker?
All will get what they deserve, in the end. Now that's true justice.

One less a-hole in the world, tragic. I'm all cut up about it really.

Do you have anything in your pocket other than gay marriage? Or is that all it takes to be evil, is to vote against it?

Yes. People don't realize Good and Evil are very close : the line is pretty thin. Neutral is just for D&D players :)

Neutral in D&D just means killing all monsters for their loot (as well as their families) while merely stealing from the "good" people.

[url=http://www.ontheissues.org/Antonin_Scalia.htm]opposed to a group of people getting the same rights as you? And wielding your position of power to perpetuate that injustice? Pretty evil, I think.

No one is opposed Scalia or anyone else having a position against gay marriage, or measures for women and rape victims, or measures to protect the environment. But Scalia was more than just a voter -- he was someone in a significant and influential position to enact postive change on these measures. Arguably, he has done the opposite.

As for expressing "happiness" over his death? I'll echo DarkPhoenix: I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.
