Scalia Wants to Rescind Sixth Amendment
by TChris
"Out of step" doesn't quite do justice to Justice Scalia's thinking about the Constitution. He's made it clear that he doesn't believe abortion is constitutionally protected, and he likes to complain that there's no constitutional "right to homosexual sodomy." But those are controversial issues, and Justice Scalia seems to thrive on controversy.
More frightening is Justice Scalia's belief that criminal defendants are not entitled to a lawyer unless they can afford to hire one. Sorry Mr. Gideon, you'll have to do the best you can on your own.
