Scalia Thinks Torture is Constitutional

There are so many indignations that pass the scrutiny of Americans daily: atrocities in Darfur, the acidification and demise of oceans and the creationist Huckabee's bid for the most important job in the world-- that one more should not surprise me, but this one, from this man, stands out among the others.

Scalia says courts shouldn't prohibit torture: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected the notion that US courts have any control over the actions of American troops at Guantanamo Bay, argued that torture of terror detainees is not banned under the US Constitution and insisted that the high court has no obligation to act as a moral beacon for other nations."

Just remember when you consider petulantly that you will not vote this November, that somewhere a Republican who will dreams of his candidate appointing Scalia clones to the remaining two SCOTU seats.
