"Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. ... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives" - Scalia, arguing that torture is nifty.

"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent. Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based on alleged “actual innocence” is constitutionally cognizable." - Judge Antonin "No Do-Overs" Scalia

Scalia likes to tout himself as an originalist....just an fyi guys.

I met her once. *blushes and giggles*

She is super cool. A friend of mine discussed an article he was writing with her and she said send it to her. We thought. "Yeah, she'll read that when he'll freezes over" (my friend is not bright and writes like it) but he sent it anyway.....and she responded with edits. Haha what a cool lady-- so unaffected. We were 2Ls I think.
