"Scalia, who 25 years ago had a certain gift for pointing out the blindness and hypocrisy of certain versions of limousine liberalism, has in his old age become an increasingly intolerant and intolerable blowhard: a pompous celebrant of his own virtue and rectitude, a purveyor of intemperate jeremiads against the degeneracy of the age, and now an author of hysterical diatribes against foreign invaders, who threaten all that is holy."

Everything Paul Campos says should be taken with a grain of salt after he was outed by Brian Leiter for smearing his colleagues in a desperate, fact-free, and self-serving tirade against the rest of legal academia.
Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but crack a smile at seeing Nino once again called out by academics for a lack of intellectual integrity, even if from an ironic quarter. Lyle Denniston, a court watcher of some fifty years, was also unimpressed by Scalia’s Arizona decision, as was Kevin R. Johnson, Dean of the UC Davis school of law. So Campos is in credible company, at least.
