Yeah, right

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the product of the fringe-right Federalist Society's judicial activism, reflects on the 2000 recount on 60 Minutes

Scalia repeated his earlier statement that people should "get over" the court's ruling in 2000 that halted Florida's vote recount, giving the presidential election to Republican Bush over Democrat Al Gore.

"I say nonsense," Scalia said, when asked about critics who say the 5-4 ruling was based on politics and not justice. "Get over it. It's so old by now."

Sure it wasn't politics. Maybe it was family.

From Salon in 2000:

Meanwhile, left-wing court watchers are apoplectic because Scalia's son Eugene is a partner in the same law firm as Theodore Olson, who is arguing Bush's case before Scalia's court. Olson has defended the Republican Party's most indefensible causes -- from Iran-Contra through impeachment. The observers demand that Scalia recuse himself from the case, almost unheard of on the court and not about to happen here.

Back to the 60 Minutes bit.

Interesting that Scalia says we should "get over" cases that are "old." Guess we'll have to bear that in mind the next time he votes to overturn 35-year-old case in the form of Roe v. Wade.
