He IS the best. FAR SUPERIOR to Scalia. Anyone who doubts it, go read their respective opinions in Raich.

I agree. I read where he was a firm believer in Natural Law Theory as were the Founders and that Just Law has to conform to the laws of nature and God’s laws. It is the intent of the Founders.

That is why I like him better than Scalia. Scalia thinks that states can have abortion....something which defies natural law. He believes if you have a majority of people in a state voting for something—that it can become law—even if it goes against the natural rights of children. Our legal system claims inalienable rights which can NEVER be taken away from ANY individual according to our Constitution—even a majority vote. That means life is always sacred when innocent—that means no right to redefine marriage from its definition in Black’s Legal dictionary, etc.

Homosexual marriage can never be allowed since our Constitution is based on Natural Law Theory and God’s laws. It is forcing unnatural acts through the force of law.....even Cicero said Just Law can never go against Natural Law==that all other law was political and only about unequal power of law used to force those to adopt the unnatural which always takes force.

Thomas’s speech that “undermines confidence in our highest court.”

So the Kelo Decision (supported by the GWB admin incidentally) did not undermine we citizen's confidence in the highest court's commitment to private property?

The LAWS are no more moral or ethical or reasonable than the society and agents who adjudicate them.

Haven’t the Court libbies ever slobbered their praise over ACLU and similar organizations? This can’t be just a Thomas thing.

The Liberals are the biggest bores ever. They are always doing something stupid.

Justice Thomas: Reasonable, pro-American comment.

Weinermobile: Rabid, insane nonsense.

“Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) said it was Thomas’s speech that “undermines confidence in our highest court.” “

No, it’s flake-offs like Sotomeyer that undermine my confidence in the court. She’s not a justice but an injustice.
