The kids that are agitating for revolution never seem to learn that once the revolution is over they are a liability & will be amongst the first to find themselves standing at the edge of a mass grave wondering what the hell is going on just before a pistol shot to the back of the head.

Sad really when you think of all that tuition money going to waste.

“The paucity of programs that can actually be of use to the economy does say a lot.”

Their school of engineering classes are conducted in a telephone booth

Didn’t Hillary graduate from this “college?”>No, she graduated from Wellesley. Same mindset though and I am sure Scalia would not be welcome there either.

Wesleyan / Wellesley, at least I got the 'W' right! lol

MIDDLETOWN

— Protesters were waiting for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's much-anticipated speech at Wesleyan University on Thursday night, outside and inside Memorial Chapel.

Before Scalia arrived at the chapel, about 40 people gathered for a protest of his speech, which was titled "The Originalist Approach to the First Amendment."

Carrying signs and a wearing a few costumes and masks, the protesters — calling themselves the Scalia Welcoming Commitee — chanted, next to a growing line of speech-goers, things like "End the war, tax the rich." At times, the speech-goers chanted along.

” [is there a reason why these protestors are afraid to show their faces?]”

1) They don’t want to be confused with Conservatives saying the same thing about their Democrat gods who are above reproach

or

2) They emulate those who want to kill Israelis, who do the same thing.

“Tickets are sold out, I understand.”

You’ll never read that anywhere.

Big Media will report that “more than a hundred” attended, with photos of all the left wing freaks before their placards and posters were required to be left outside when they went inside.

I believe I read that there were 40 demonstrators....I'll bet the ones inside the auditorium were obnoxious.

So much for free speech. But I'm confident Scalia is a *big boy* and held his own.

According to AP via the Wat Repub

**The court's early justices would be "astonished that the notion of the Constitution changes to mean whatever each successive generation would like it to mean," he said.

"In fact, it would be not much use to have a First Amendment, for example, if the freedom of speech included only what some future generation wanted it to include. That would guarantee nothing all."**

**"If you think proponents of a living Constitution are trying to bring you flexibility and power to change, you should think again," he said at Wesleyan's annual lecture named in honor of Hugo Black, a long-serving Supreme Court justice appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt.**

**Scalia said the standards for judging justices has taken a new turn in the past quarter century, producing a "horrible confirmation process."

"Is this person a good lawyer, a modicum of judicial demeanor, an honest person: That's all fine and good but that's not the most important thing," he said. "The most important thing is, "Is this person going to write the new Constitution that I like?"**

As Rush said yesterday, these Progressives will never *get it.*
