Mr. Hasen,

I read your article this week concerning Justice Scalia. After careful consideration I have come to this conclusion about the author: You sir are a complete Ass Clown.

Your hyperbole on kissing democracy good bye reminds me of Donald Trump talking about his wall. Justice Scalia will be remembered as one of the most influential judicial minds of the century. You will be remembered by your students years from now as “you know, old what’s his name”.

The University of California system seems like a nice, unchallenging place for you to place your pulpit.
