Schools and banks closed as Hong Kong paralysed by protest

Anson Chan, Hong Kong's former second-in-command, said the scenes in central Hong Kong on Sunday night had disgraced the city. "This is a sad day," she said. "Pictures of our police force firing pepper spray and tear gas into the faces of unarmed protesters will shame our government in front of the whole world."
She said the current administration, by endorsing Beijing's plan to control the 2017 election for Hong Kong's mayor, known locally as the chief executive, had "paved the way for the current crisis".
The protests are the first major test for Xi Jinping, China's president, who came to power last year. On the mainland, censors worked to scrub any news of Hong Kong from reaching the Internet, while newspapers were told not to cover the story.
The Global Times, in its English language edition, continued to suggest that unrest in Hong Kong was being stirred up by foreign forces, saying that Western newspapers had seized on the protests and made comparisons with the Tiananmen Square demonstrations of 1989.

Come on, China. Don't feel bad about pepper spraying your protesters. All the cool nations are doing it.

Reagan's appointment, but if I can remember correctly there was very little condemnation of the selection during his confirmation hearings, if any, and was easily confirmed by the Senate with little opposition from Democrats.  Unlike Bork, who had the fires of hell come down on him during the hearings and was eventually turned down.

I was in high school at the time, so I may not quite have it all arranged correctly in my memory.

Maybe.

Scalia is pretty brutal.  Incredibly smart but awful on almost every level.  Thomas is infinitely more respectable to me regarding his legal positions.  He's at least consistent even when it comes to something he doesn't "like" like weed because he supports federalism and state rights.  Scalia only acts like he does until it comes to something he finds distasteful.

Scalia is a gigantic shtein stain on the Constitution.  If ever there's been a poster child for judicial term limits, it's that vile scumbag.

term limits for the supreme court and congress are something that should have been enacted decades ago
