SCALIA DEFENDS BAUER
Fellow Squad member Adam Grossman brought this to our attention earlier this afternoon. Apparently Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia loves federal super agent Jack Bauer. In fact, judging by his comments, the Justice may be under the impression that Bauer is, in fact, a real person.
“Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. … He saved hundreds of thousands of lives,” Scalia said.
Then, referencing Jack's brutal interrogation tactics on Syed Ali during Season 2, Scalia continued: “Are you going to convict Jack Bauer? Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I don’t think so."
Of course, I agree 100% with Scalia. A jury would never convict Jack. Because Jack, like many of Scalia's many other favorite TV characters, is make believe.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed with her colleague, but noted that the only way for a jury to acquit Bauer would be with the help of "that fine piece of man candy Denny Crane."
