To Antonin Scalia, "Justice" is Only His Job Title

For "justice" is clearly not what he has on his mind:
“This court has never held,” Justice Scalia wrote, “that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is ‘actually’ innocent.”
How can one have a "full and fair trial" when the prosecution witnesses are lying? And how can anyone whose job is the dispensing of justice have no qualms about executing an innocent man?

  1. Scalia is a tool and a douche-bag

  2. ...a tool and a douche-bag who is nonetheless pointing out a serious flaw in American jurisprudence. Much as I would like to have Scalia fixed, perhaps it would be more germane to fix the legal system.
