If Scott McClellan is a secretarial douchebag, and George W. Bush is a presidential douche bag, does that make Justice Antonin Scalia a supreme douche bag? And which douche bag would win in a fight?
Anyway, the debate on the illegal redistricting of the Texas legislature was heard by the Supreme Court today, and Justice Scalia wasn't exactly coy about which side he supports:
Nina Perales [of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, on behalf of Latino and black voters] argued that each district must be evaluated for its own circumstances but that it was impermissible to "zigzag through neighborhoods and streets" in an "egregious use of race for its own sake." To uphold this district, she said, would "give states free rein to use race to manipulate outcomes."
Justice Antonin Scalia replied, "Of course you want to use race to manipulate outcomes, just sometimes."
Don't you just love it when our chief arbiters of the constitution employ our Founding Fathers' little known "I know you are but what am I" provision?
