Charles Whittaker Watch
Over at PolySigh, I started the Charles Whittaker Watch to keep track of the increasingly wacky statements of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. The watch is named for Justice Charles Whittaker who resigned from the Court after suffering a nervous breakdown. You can check out other watch entries here, here, here, here, and here.
In our latest update, Justice Scalia claimed in his dissenting opinion in Boumediene v. Bush, “At least 30 of those prisoners hitherto released from Guantanamo Bay have returned to the battlefield.” It turns out that the battlefield now includes appearing in documentaries.
Comments
Here's a "Scalia" I posted at another blog (De Novo) earlier:
"JE NE RECUSE!"
In that duck blind
Lady Justice unveils
Her traditional blindfold
For these bonding males:
Scalia and Cheney,
Shotguns at attack,
Taking aim at Justice,
"QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!"

I presume Lord Haw Haw, Tokyo Rose, and the rest of the propaganda makers of the fascists should have been released when caught under this theory of ridicule. In this war the web is a battlefield, as is the multiplex. It ain't Scalia whose going crazy!
