For a little while we will have to hear how "brilliant" he was.

[boston bean]

But know in the end that this is the end of the kind of "brilliance" that hated gays, women, immigrants anyone different than him.

May he rest wherever God determines he should rest.

1. "Brilliant evil" n/t

[brush]

2. Not brilliance, anti-brilliance if anything

True brilliance does not espouse anti-women, anti-gay, anti-immigrant and white supremist pronouncements.

[boston bean]

3. I thought the quotation marks and my remarks about having to hear about it

were enough to let everyone know, I didn't think he was brilliant.

[brush]

8. Ok. I'm with you.

[JFKDem62]

4. I guess a person can be brilliant and evil at the same time.

Not a good combination.

He will have no rest where he is now.

[spanone]

5. AND this same shit will be shoveled whey clarence the mute makes his exit

[Gabi Hayes]

6. he was facile, a terrible writer. His final years

contained the ravings of a prion-ravaged, disorganized, pre-senile dementia afflicted sociopath.

[Turbineguy]

7. Don't forget:

9 children and 28 grandchildren. That alone qualifies him to be a Supreme Court Justice (Apparently).

Yes, women who want to be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen and men who want to keep women that way have lost a stalwart champion.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. He consistently sided with "anti-obscenity" censorship types & those who'd tell consenting adults

what they can or cannot do in their personal lives, what choices they can or cannot make, and what to do with their own bodies.

his dissent on the Lawrence decision is a perfect example.

To say I was not a fan, is an understatement.

But I'm sure the authoritarians, censors, and control freaks are feeling the loss.
