Second of all, Scalia was a farty stylist but first of all he was not a fucking poet, you dipshit, he was a Supreme Court justice, and the reason future generations will remember him will be that his sweaty cleverness has a large and ongoing body count - ThreadSky

I went to law school in the 90s and there were folks who claimed he was great bc he was "funny" - take the worst dad joke & combine it with a lukewarm musk tweet & distill into a paste of cringe...

Dude makes Soupy sales look like peak Larry David... though I got to hand it to him, his last bit where he dropped dead on some fed soc evil hunting junket was pretty good!

"Say what you want about the Nazis but they had snazzy uniforms!"

He was a misfit/social climber like all those who try to impose their will on others to avenge the rejection of their peers in adolescence. An only child who had few friends.

Forget it Tom, he's a FedSoc douche.

The assumption of the literary maven is that Scalia was a good-faith actor, which he was not, except in service of his religious fanaticism which went so far as to assert Satan as a real being. (So to the Trinity add yet one more divinity).

The guy literally died while on a lavish luxury bribery junket! He was literally found dead having betrayed his oath as a judge!

There have got to be more dignified ways to get that Bohemian Grove invite.

Looks like @rickhills.bsky.social has been shamed into deleting his post.

I think SOMEbody wanted to be an English professor, but daddy told him it wasn’t practical.

The man unironically used the word ‘kulturkampf.’ That alone damns his writing.

tamslick.bsky.social•3 days ago

A word that, if used in earnest rather than sardonically and deprecatingly, is a big ol' red flag.

And SMU gave him an award for preserving the freedom of the press.

And he barred the press from attending or asking questions.

(Early 2000s if I remember correctly)

Scalia opinions are going to be taught in law schools for generations because they’re easy to read, engaging, and first-year students just learning how to think like lawyers can quickly spot where his arguments completely fall apart.

They all think it'll be like Churchill -- a monstrous reactionary redeemed by beating the Nazis. Unfortunately for them you don't get the same consideration for *enabling* the Nazis.

Also when's the Library of America volume of Scalia's decisions coming out

10/10 for the last line

One of Scalia’s lasting accomplishments is being a detection machine for amoral nerds

Reminds how some folk insist on saying JD is a good writer, pointing to Hillbilly Elegy, which is…not a good book. Smugness can read as authoritative, I guess, but that says a lot about the reader.
