In his private life, Antonin Scalia may very well have been a wonderful man. But as a public figure he was a cretinous goon who in his role as a Supreme Court Justice made life immeasurably worse for the vast bulk of Americans, and especially those who were not white, heterosexual, and wealthy. For Democrats to claim that he merely "disagreed" with us is the height of disingenuousness--Scalia's actions and words were the antithesis of everything we as a party stand for.
His death also creates a very real gut check for the Democratic Party. While we may not be able to get an Obama nominee through the Senate, we must make republicans pay for their obstructionism each and every day until his replacement by a Democratic nominee--in the court of public opinion and at the ballot box (especially in this year's Senate races),
By any means necessary.
The time to prop up American's poor and middle class, and to empty the feeding trough that the Roberts court has been for Corporate America, is now.
Peace,
