THE SCALIA GESTURE

Jonah Goldberg
The Corner

The "controversy" over Scalia is idiotic. I think Scalia was right. I don't care what the gesture means. A reporter came up to Scalia while he was in Church and asked him, essentially, if he could really be a fair judge because he's a practicing Catholic. The venue of the question was inappropriate. The question was based on a very stupid understanding of church-state issues (why not ask Anothony Kennedy the same question?) and at its core was the assumption that Scalia is a biased judge. And, while not techinically inappropriate, the question was cliched, tired and without any news value as Scalia has addressed that question some 9 billion times in one form or another. It was just a rude invasion of the guy's privacy. And Scalia's response may not have been ideal, but it was perfectly human and understandable.
