Roberts and Alito Too New, MSM Crosshairs Now on Scalia

When I first read Brian Ross's Report on Scalia, I must admit I had a few threads of angst among the vast weave in my head (though some argue it's mostly air). For at least a couple seconds, I thought that Scalia might have gone up a bar or two in my "unethical meter."

Then I did a little research on Gillers. Here's a decent summary of "Scaliagate."

Excerpt:
"The group [Federalist Society] said that "Rather than taking a recreational trip with hours of tennis and going fly-fishing, as ABC would have its viewers believe, Justice Scalia was honoring an agreement made nearly a year in advance with the Federalist Society to teach a serious scholarly program to more than 100 lawyers from 38 states that required considerable work and advance preparation. Prior to the course, Justice Scalia produced a 481-page course book that attendees were expected to review in advance. The course was approved by at least 30 state bars for most of the attending lawyers' continuing education requirements. Justice Scalia was there to share his knowledge and experience and received only reimbursement for travel and lodging.""

To paraphrase Sowell - they first have to lie at all costs to protect their precious vision of the world, then assassinate the character of all those who do not subscribe to their vision. Obviously, they have to resort to this with a smart guy like Scalia. They're still looking for a way to impeach Bush, this is probably a way for them to try and impeach Scalia.
