Those who forget the past...

Antonin Scalia, heir-presumptive to the Supreme Court Chief Justiceship, told the congregation at an orthodox synagogue in New York a couple of weeks ago that the best protection for Jews in the US would be to have Christianity play a part in the government of the country. He also suggested that the Holocaust was able to happen because Hitler kept church and state separate, when in fact the opposite is true. Scalia also claims that the founding fathers intended for Christianity to be part of the government. This article gives more information, and notes that the story has received almost no coverage.

Bush has said that Scalia is one of his favourite justices. I guess Bush figures he still qualifies as constructionist if he's allowed to rewrite the constitution before he starts interpreting it.
