This shocker seems unbelievable, but it appears in the New Yorker magazine?
Time will tell -- like about 5 hours from now. (I write at 1 AM Saturday.)

Bitter Scalia Leaves U.S.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Justice Antonin Scalia dropped a bombshell on the Supreme Court today, announcing his decision to resign from the Court “effective immediately” and leave the United States forever.
Calling this week “by far the worst week of my life,” Justice Scalia lashed out at his fellow-Justices and the nation, saying, “I don’t want to live in a sick, sick country that thinks the way this country apparently thinks.”
Justice Scalia said that he had considered fleeing to Canada, “but they not only have gay marriage but also national health care, which is almost as evil.”
He said the fact that nations around the world recognizing same-sex marriage are “falling like deviant dominoes” would not deter him from leaving the United States: “There are plenty of other countries that still feel the way I do. I’ll move to Iran if I have to.”
Throwing off his robe in a dramatic gesture, Justice Scalia reserved his harshest parting shot for his fellow-Justices, screaming, “Damn you! Damn each and every one of you to hell! You call yourself judges? That’s a good one. You’re nothing but animals!”
Breathing heavily after his tirade, he turned to Justice Clarence Thomas and said, “Except you, Clarence. Are you coming with me?”
Justice Thomas said nothing in reply.

"Bitter Scalia leaves U.S?" Not yet..... Nothing about it in Scalia's Wikipedia article -- it makes him sound like the greatest right-winger ever, but that would be news to me. Gosh, he took our side on the Voting Rights Act!?!?!

I can't turn up any dirt on Mr. Scalia whatsoever, hmmm. He has weighed in (correctly) on Guantanamo-type issues, but other than that neither the above article, the Wikipedia page, nor anything else readily at hand even mentions the big big issue at hand -- ameriKa's quaint custom of raping other countries for Israel. Is that fine with His Honor?
Please let me know if you come across a lead in that direction -- but please, do me a favor and don't pronounce the gentleman's name with the accent on the second syllable. He's Italian, not Spanish, and there's no accent on the "i" even in his father's name, Salvatore Eugene Scalia. If anybody finds one we'll consider it -- but until then, please, no reflexive bowing to the PC currents of the time.
