"Justice Antonin Scalia is burning up the social media world today with a big, free-range interview he gave Jennifer Senior at New York magazine. In it, Scalia pretty much out-Scalias himself yet again. Highlights include his objections to the coarsening of modern discourse, his fondness for Seinfeld, the rationale behind his fiery dissents, and a rather remarkable discursion about the devil. But beyond the wacky stuff and the bombastic stuff and the typically unrepentant poke-in-the-eye stuff (including his insistence that he doesn't hate homosexuals) and the Freudian slip about the "Nazi soup kitchen," what's glaringly in evidence throughout the piece is the way he has managed to shutter himself off from the world of his critics and intellectual opponents. Justice Antonin Scalia seems a bit like a man living on a tiny remote island of the Supreme Court, and even on that tiny island, he's forever more alone...".
