Cant raise hypotheticals you dont agree with. unfortunately, this is a consistent pattern with scalia. he never raises the other side of the argument, so i do think he is speaking in some ways from his views, and i think it was welcome for trump to point out, this was a little bit shocking. at the same time, listen. the stuff that donald trump was saying, even when you, i thought, did a great job of trying to point out that there are great muslims who are around the world, some of who have been ...
