The San Diego Tribune Just SHOCKED Me With THIS Headline.

[kpete]

This paper has been a conservative piece of shit and worse, yet here it is in glorious B&W:

Leaving Justice Scalia's seat vacant insults him, America

By The San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board | 10 a.m. Feb. 14, 2016

last 2 lines of editorial:

That anyone would advocate leadership by inaction is ludicrous. Let the president try to navigate the storm of the Senate by putting forth a nominee who might be confirmed. Let the Senate consider it in good faith.

And to borrow from one of the presidents we are celebrating this weekend, let government of paralysis, by paralysis and for paralysis perish from the Earth.

2. I assume this paper is rightwing normally, weird eh.

5. "Rightwing" is putting it mildly

It is foam-at-the-mouth wingnut.

[MagickMuffin]

3. Perhaps obstructionism is taking a toll

At least let's hope that is the case!

[closeupready]

4. Maybe, like most people, they see the obvious - voters are pissed fucking off

that their democracy has been hijacked in the service of pushing forward the agenda of one political party at the expense of not just Democrats, but everyone else as well. K&R

11. actually, Scalia did that too

he hijacked democracy to push his ideology AND his religion

Fill Scalia's seat now.

9. The Union-Tribune was recently acquired by the LA Times

from uber-Republican Doug Manchester, so there may be a real change in editorial direction going forward.
