'And while conservative justices have been criticized for effectively deciding the 2000 election themselves, Scalia quipped: “Would you rather have the president of the United States decided by the Supreme Court of Florida?”'

Given that that was the procedure provided under Florida election law, yes, I would have preferred that the president of the United States had been decided by the Supreme Court of Florida.

I, too, am the Emperor Norton. You, therefore, are an impostor, and you'd better take off that crown and stop wielding that sceptre. I wonder how many answers needed to be changed in order for one to turn out to be Nicola Tesla? (No, no, I don't have time to game a silly online quiz...)

You want to be an emperor, fine... You can be Napoleon... all of Europe for a footstool, but San Francisco is mine.


And yeah, I'd prefer it if Scalia weren't making so glib, when a review of his statements (and he is the one most vulnerable to this, because he makes so many pronouncements, writes so many articles on "judicial philosophy) didn't point out that he chucked the law away when he cast his votes in Bush v. Gore.

Take them away from you? Sure, I'll meet you in San Francisco and -- wait, you're not in San Francisco either. Are you sure we're Norton?
