Tired of all those big legal fees?

Just get Supreme Court Justice Antonin "Tony Peanuts" Scalia to prejudge your case. For one relatively small fee you can save millions in lawyers billings. According to Newsweek, Tony Peanuts has already taken his first "case".
The Supreme Court this week will hear arguments in a big case: whether to allow the Bush administration to try Guantánamo detainees in special military tribunals with limited rights for the accused. But Justice Antonin Scalia has already spoken his mind about some of the issues in the matter. During an unpublicized March 8 talk at the University of Freiburg in Switzerland, Scalia dismissed the idea that the detainees have rights under the U.S. Constitution or international conventions, adding he was "astounded" at the "hypocritical" reaction in Europe to Gitmo.
Don't hold your breath waiting for a recusal. The Dread Chief Justice Roberts has already recused himself because he had ruled on the case at the appellate level. Without Tony Peanuts the government is surely going to lose this case. Can you see anyone signing onto a decision by Cabin Boy Thomas if they don't have to?
