In Scalia's World...

...that there could be tens-of-thousands of innocents railroaded into jail because of misidentification is irrelevant. They had a "fair trial." And if evidence came into the governments possession that would exonerate these guilty men... Well, tough shit... For the rest of us, there is this to contemplate:
Dallas’s police department changed the way it lines up its suspects for identification. Instead of the common “six pack” method where the victim looks at six photos at once, detectives (blind to who the suspect is) started showing the photos one at a time, reports the Associated Press. This small change, according to the AP, can lower misidentification rates by 39 percent.
Not to be particularly uncharitable... But there are times I really wish Scalia, and his puppet Thomas, would die...

Law and justice are too important for ideologues like them...
