College professor: Supreme Court Justice Scalia a ‘ranting old man’ & 'intolerant blowhard'
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 06/26/2012 10:40:47 AM PDT by oliverdarcy

A professor at the University of Colorado on Monday responded to the Supreme Court's landmark immigration ruling by dismissing Justice Antonin Scalia as a "ranting old man," in retribution for his conservative dissent.

Paul Campos, a professor of law at the University of Colorado - Boulder went on to suggest that "degeneracy" brought on by Scalia's old age, 65, had polluted his judgment.

"In his old age [he has] become an increasingly intolerant and intolerable blowhard: a pompous celebrant of his own virtue and rectitude, a purveyor of intemperate jeremiads against the degeneracy of the age, and now an author of hysterical diatribes against foreign invaders, who threaten all that is holy," wrote Campos in the op-ed published in the liberal web magazine Salon.com.

“His graduate studies in English literature, which culminated in a thesis on Shakespeare’s King Lear, provided him with rigorous training in literary theory that has been helpful in his current work in constitutional interpretation”

In laymans terms that means he is great at making shit up. Figures.

Who the hell would even think of writting a thesis on a character in a fictional book? Obviously, Some Idiot that lives in the Fantasy world.

Ohhhhh.....a chicago lawyer Democrat.......

And another "Constitutional scholar" to boot. Like his fellow comrade Zero he probably wouldn't know the Constitution if it bit him in the ass.

Looks like some sort of treatise on politically correct speach.

The Supreme Court always gets the last guess when it comes to the Constitution. Sometimes such guesses are pretty bad, sometimes they are just controversial.

Another “Hispanic” affirmative action hire who is being paid by clueless parents to indoctrinate their children to hate America. They are a dime a dozen in our universities.

AA for what? the little fag is whiter than Scalia!

The only degenerates I know are liberals. Justice Scalia’s opinion was dead on. These college professors should have their salaries slashed !!!

Sigmund Freud would have called this Professor’s rant, “projection”.

I’m sure we’ll soon hear stories of this “college professor” being another gay pedophile.

Not a single one of the law prof/clowns criticized the merits of Scalia’s dissent. All were ad hominem attacks. These are the types that would happily march every Freeper off to the rice fields if they could get away with it.
