Scalia: USSR Had a Better Constitution

Republican Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said the Soviet Union's constitution was much better than America's.

"The bill of rights of the former evil empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was much better than ours. I mean it literally. It was much better."

If Elena Kagan (or any Democratic appointed judge) had said this, the right wing would be rioting in the streets.  This would be a huge Fox News Alert.  Every Republican with a Fox News app on their cell phone would be exploding right now.  Facebook would be set aflame with neorotic Republicans crying about an immediate impeachment of Kagan and of Obama for appointing her.

Alas, calm down everyone.  Scalia is a Republican appointed by Saint Ronald Reagan.  You know, the same guy that armed, funded, and supplied intelligence to both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.  Everything is fine in the world.  Nothing to see here.
