WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Tuesday predicted an acrimonious confirmation fight over the court's next vacancy and blamed politics for unfilled openings in lower courts.

The justice, who turns 67 next week, frequently complains that the Constitution is treated by courts as a "living document" that evolves over time. He said that Supreme Court decisions involving abortion, the death penalty and assisted suicide illustrate that philosophy.

"I've been predicting this for 20 years, that ultimately this theory of the living Constitution will destroy us, it will destroy the federal courts," he said. "Once the people figure out what the game is, they will say, 'We will select our judges on the basis of who will create the Constitution that we desire.'"

Unfortunately, the whiners and self-appointed victim class in America will continue to push their agenda in the selection of judicial nominees.

And liberal politicians are more than happy to oblige them.
