Paul Wertz gets it right. This guy wasn't an "intellect," he was a poser. The image of him as an "intellect" was pure marketing hype from the era when a B-film movie star had the majority of Americans in thrall by his acting.

Being from Virginia, the "Birthplace of American Democracy" (the Virginia House of Burgesses, established in 1619, was the first representative legislative body in the New World), Scalia was a disgusting worm who defiled our country's best principles. If I were back in my native state & close enough, I'd dance on Scalia's grave.
