The Washington Post, widely known as a conservative newspaper, published an op-ed piece by E. J. Dionne, Jr., who argued that Scalia has reached the point of needing to step down due to conflicts and impartiality. Scalia has become more overly-opinionated and essentially political as time has gone on, and he seems to be trying to transform his position on the court into a podium to espouse his views on President Obama's actions EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO CASE ON THEM. This is a HUGE no-no for judges. They have to be very, very careful about ensuring that they remain impartial and judge cases purely on what is brought before them. I suggest you (and Scalia) check it out: WaPo op-ed
This blog is mainly focused on current legal stories and cases. Because I am licensed in Ohio and Tennessee and living in Oklahoma, I tend to read (and therefore blog) mostly about cases from those states. When I get tired of reading about legal cases, I blog about my dogs and other interesting stories. I try to keep the author as my dog Ella, but I'm not very successful at that. Goal for future: Be more persuasive about Ella being the author despite me being the one who can type.
