If, as Justice Scalia states in his dissent in AZ v U.S., states have the right to exclude any class of people from living in their state, why does the same "sovereign" not have the right to pass laws limiting corporate donations in elections?
Scalia has never, in his life, articulated a principle of jurisprudence he wouldn't chuck in the wastebasket the moment it got in the way of a political outcome he wanted.
His recent over-the-top dissent, in which he used his position to launch a jeremiad against the President, who was not even a party to the suit, is only the most recent and repellent example.
If Americans have lost faith in the Supreme Court as a neutral arbiter, Scalia is the biggest culprit.
