Flutterby™! : Further evidence of Scalia's evil

Supreme Court: Schwarzenegger/Brown-v-Plata rules that California's prisons are overcrowded, cruel and unusual punishment, and California needs to release 30k inmates. Of particular note, Scalia's dissent:

There comes before us, now and then, a case whose proper outcome is so clearly indicated by tradition and common sense, that its decision ought to shape the law, rather than vice versa. One would think that, before allowing the decree of a federal district court to release 46,000 convicted felons, this Court would bend every effort to read the law in such a way as to avoid that outrageous result.

Good to know that the strict constitutionalist is willing to "bend every effort to read the law in such a way" as to pervert both the rule of law and the Constitution in favor of "tradition and common sense".
