Fun fact, both Pennyroyal and the May Apple are abortificants. Guess what grew in the Pilgrim's gardens?
I am ecstatic that he's dead, perhaps now my daughter has a chance of not growing up into a forced incubator.
Yes, as an attorney, this is my absolute favorite from all his shit-soaked opinions. Why throw away a perfectly good conviction? FACTUAL innocence should be no impediment to execution. He probably wanted to do it himself (while he jizzed himself simultaneously).
Honestly I was surprised that wasn’t mentioned because as terrible as all this other stuff is, to me his belief that it’s totally fine to execute an innocent person because they had a “full and fair trial” (though I take issue with the idea that a truly full and fair trial would result in the conviction and death…

None of these is even close to the worst thing he has ever said. This is the worst thing he ever said.
The GOP plan to obstruct considering his replacement for 11 months makes me sick.

Over the weekend you would read things like “yeah but some of his decisions were so well written” or “yeah but he was a great friend to RBG” or “He thought freedom of speech should apply to video games” which I thought were very helpful as most people don’t go around with signs actually telling you they live up their…
Let’s not forget his role in appointing George W President in 2000.
Scalia is gone.
Exactly what I said when I read this.
