Watching Katy Tur......

and she asked a Justice Scalia associate about taking back our constitution?

He said that Scalia would have loved it and wanted it that way!

Umm, Scalia was one of the judges that put us in the situation with all his rulings ways.

Give me a break!

These two numbnuts are using the Constitution for toilet paper. They are the absolute worst.

In reality, he probably was on some issues--by comparison. Obviously not on a lot of major issues that has sent us down this path. Still, he did attempt to argue the law and constitution. Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch (often) just argue ideology and try to make the law "fit" (or ignore it completely).

But, damn if I wouldn't sub Scalia in for any of those horrible cretins.

Management keeps her but let’s go of Katie Phang, Alex Wagner, Mehdi Hasan, Joy Reid and others more qualified than Ms Tur.

It is the first time in several months that I watched any of her show. But they were talking about today’s rulings.

He clerked for Scalia, if I got that correctly.
I caught a bit of that exchange.
Before I saw his name and association with Scalia, I said to my husband, "Who the hell is that?". We often go to the BBC during KT time slot.

I found it. It was a discussion about the public taking over deciding what is in the Constitution and what should be in it.

of the billionaire ruling class.

There's a host of presuppositions and assumptions that will never be addressed or questioned on corporate news.
