As a Black Catholic who can pass for White, Anton Scalia was nothing more than an unthinking, but highly skilled, mouth-piece for Pope John Paul II.  So long as the Papacy keeps insisting that one cell human zygotes merit full human rights (e.g. they ought to be baptized) ranting about Roe v Wade lacks credibility.  No Catholic judge has ever recused himself or herself from a case because being Roman Catholic.

Elagabalus  has it right, as does Sephen Healy and others.

They thought Hitler was too extreme to be effective, either.
