        @MotherJones Is there no system for relieving the high Court of a improper judge? There is no code of conduct?

        @MotherJones Justice Scalia has made a valid point. What is purpose of bringing in students who don't meet the education standards?

        @MotherJones Deceptive Mother! The comment’s context was admissions preferences for less prepared blacks, not for all blacks. #Scalia

        @MotherJones No, just noting that unprepared AffAc blacks, not all, do poorly at top schools (at expense of well prepared students). #Scalia
