Sigh. I shudder at the thought that this clown is part of our legal appeal of last resort. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at a conference on constitutional protections for religion, talking about freedom during wartime:

"The Constitution just sets minimums," Scalia said after a speech at John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland. "Most of the rights that you enjoy go way beyond what the Constitution requires."
