Reality check for Justice Scalia, PLEASE!

"Humanity has been around for at least some 5,000 years or so, and I doubt that the basic challenges as confronted are any worse now, or alas even much different, from what they ever were."
—SC Justice Antonin Scalia, in a graduation speech at his granddaughter's high school

Yes. Because the Babylonians had such a problem with people texting while driving that there is no more Babylon.

It should be a disqualifier, because we need to have politicians and judges who will use the best science and knowledge we have to make decisions.

Unfortunately, we have far many more people who want to know if their politician has the same religions as them instead of whether they would actually be good at governance.
