I find the requirement of &quot;civility&quot; over &quot;truth&quot; to be rather off-putting. The direct line here is Scalia&#x27;s belief that justice is trumped by tradition, and therefore an innocent person has no right to be declared so by new evidence.<p>This makes him a terrible person, because he is directly standing between an innocent person (or people) and their freedom and the justice this country promises.<p>It&#x27;s calling a spade a spade. Civility doesn&#x27;t (edit: shouldn&#x27;t) trump that.
