Wow The Stranger sure is showing their intolerance. Two wrongs do not make a right. You may have disagreed with Justice Antonin, but your lack of respect and your childish glee are extremely uncalled for. The Stranger needs to fucking grow up.
@ All, I think of all the gay teenagers who killed themselves over the years by the bullying assholes like Scalia helped perpetrate and think this was really quite polite.
@1, 3: Welcome to the Stranger! They do this sort of thing all the time, primarily (though not exclusively) to those they disagree with, or, as Cato pointed out, those responsible for the misery of others.
Sorry, but... Alas, like most religious beliefs, hell is quite imaginary, other than when it's visited on the living world by shitheads like Scalia. I can't wish for Scalia to burn for eternity in a place that doesn't exist. Even if he believed it exists and we believe he belongs there, the only place he's going to burn is a crematorium, and failing that, the only place he's going to rot is the ground.
All I can do is wish the worms bon appetit -- enjoy that oleaginous fat bastard to the last greasy drop. Oh, and may the creepy twerps of Skull and Bones steal his skull and defile it regularly.
And the fact that he died after an all night, meth-fueled fuckfest with a donkey makes this letter all the more bittersweet. Did he even make sure that donkey was a gun owner AND one of Gawd's own RepubliKKKans? No wonder heez a'fryin' in hayell.
Thanks @12.
But why is Bowie fucking Anton? I met the guy once and, if you could say one thing about him, David had standards.
Weird sophmoric homophobe joke there, right?
@6 - Yeah, I know. I've been around a while. And had they not involved Malcomb X, Gandhi, and Bowie, you and I wouldn't be having this pleasant conversation. Desecrate the name of Scalia all you want, leave the good ones out of it.
Mormons don't really believe in Hell, or at least anything like the one in Southpark with lakes of fire. Mostly, you're not allowed near God and the Mormons. Instead, you have to hang out with the drinkers, pot smokers, and fornicators. So, mostly a win-win.
@1
Writing about Hell has generally been much less about any type of fairness and more about expressing your opinion about your opponents and/or enemies...Dante, in particular, had a lot to say about the afterlives of his enemies, banishment will do that.
@17
Am I correct in thinking that the scheme, basically ripped-off from Swedenborg, involves temporary punishment, then at worst Outer Darkness, which I remember as being reserved for apostate Mormons.
@16: Ah, it was the inclusion of Bowie, Gandhi, et al that pushed it over the line for you. I see.
And yes, I know you've been around for a while. I was merely having some fun, while trying to stem the faux outrage that seemed to be building already.
You're wrong about the lake of fire. Scalia is in the lake of boiling pitch, which is reserved for corrupt politicians.
And for you hand-wringers out there who feel that anything negative against Scalia is "disrespectful," I remind you that the image of him naked and tortured for eternity is from Scalia's own morality. The same moral code he wanted to inflict upon everyone else. But if you don't like this, don't bitch about it to people on the Slog: light candles and pray to your patron saints for intercession.
26, I would like to take this opportunity to say I like you. I like this post, your last post, & that Rakim by Dead Can Dance will play at your funeral. What a song.
Whomever the stranger that perpetrated this article was so envious of Scalia that they probably will never make it in life because they are so worthless that they set up people they feel inferior to to gain control of their estate with assassination because it isn't dirty Abraham of bastardnomics and whores are us. Obviously to terrified to say who they really are hiding from the reality of facing up to confessing the murder to gain control of estate like every prostitutes desire.

As far as crossing lines & whatnot: you reap what you sow.
Did the Stranger just outsource their humor department to teh UW Daily?
So bad.

Yeah, South Park's Hell has Saddam's huge erect penis in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS-ts5_n…

He would have wanted it that way.
I believe that you and Mr Francis E. Dec have much about which to speak....
Perhaps they were there to punish Scalia himself(in Bowie's case, by gently discrediting Scalia's homophobia).
And, in any case, eternal torment is a form of "originalism".
@29, oh to listen...
