When one of the most conservative papers publishes an op-ed saying Scalia needs to go . . .

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
