Appears Scalia did not say he would dissent in Brown v. Board of Education...

Appears he said he would have dissented in Plessy v. Ferguson...the correct position...

1. Of course it is telling...

That believing otherwise was so easy to imagine!

2. Yep, the Rush Limbaugh standard for truth n/t

7. Lots of Fox Mulders.

Lots of people who want to believe.

It must be very disappointing for them.

3. no apologies.

I still wish he'd just foad.

4. I still hate the prick

and sincerely hope that Obama gets to appoint his replacement while he cools to room temperature. Is that wrong of me?

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. No, that's not wrong at all.

The only way Obama can change the Supreme Court for the better is if Fat Tony or Clarence the Clown is gone. Replacing Stevens or Ginsberg (the most likely replacements during Obama's term) wouldn't change the balance of the court at all, and Chimpy's two appointees aren't going anywhere.

6. Actually, TPM is saying another blogger is saying Scalia said

Plessy v Ferguson, they are "getting the video to verify Balkin's take..."

It seems, at least at this point, there is little clarity as to which case Scalia was making reference.

8. Scalia's dissents are legendary.

"Batshit crazy" comes to mind, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Plessy, *or* Brown, since his reasoning in either would be of the jaw-dropping, point-and-laugh, school of the bizarre and absurd.

9. I don't believe him.

And will continue to believe the original story is accurate, regardless of the retraction.
