We cats don't often disagree with Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, but today, we must.
At Yale Law School yesterday, Breyer spoke about Antonin Scalia and called him "a decent man." Wow! It looks like Justice Breyer and we have different opinions of what makes somebody the d-word.
Nobody who said and wrote what Scalia said and wrote about African-Americans qualifies as "decent."
Nobody who said or wrote the pissy things that Scalia said and wrote about gay people is "decent." Ditto what he said and wrote about women.
And of course, nobody who helped saddle the United States with the disastrous Presidency of The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived goes in the "decent" category in our book. There are about 4,000 US fighting men and women and countless Iraqis — not to mention all those folks in New Orleans and, oh yes, let's toss in the 3,000 from 9/11 — who would be around today if it weren't for that.
So, Justice Breyer: We're sorry for you that the Supreme Court will be a "grayer place" without Antonin Scalia. But for us and the other Americans whom Scalia ruled against and couldn't abide, it feels like going from sepia Kansas to gorgeous Oz. We cats HISS and PURR.
