In his opinion on the Arizona immigrant law, Justice Scalia criticized President Obama’s executive order on young immigrants who are not citizens, but who came to the U.S. as children.
This was not part of the issue before the Supreme Court. Scalia’s views on Obama’s policy were irrelevant. If Scalia wants to legislate, he should leave the Court and run for the House or the Senate. I’m not sure of the protocol of the Supreme Court, but I think the other justices should censure him, or at least tell him to act like more like a justice and less like a commentator on Fox News. What a disgrace to the judicial system.
The Supreme Court has gotten very political in the last decade. Justices Scalia and Thomas being two of the most controversial.
ReplyDeleteIn the next four years there is a good chance that some justices will be replaced due to retirements. That is a big reason to elect the Senators that will do due diligence for the people of our country. Not the interests of the rich and corporations. Of course it takes the President that will nominate great nominees. We already have that President and we need to keep him in office.
