Why is Scalia necessarily a hypocrite? Am I, because I am aware of the heuristics and biases inherent in human thought, necessarily more biased? To me it speaks well of him that he is aware that the presentation of an argument can influence a judge.
Because he claims that his decisions are based just on what the
constitution says and that he is NOT influenced by anything else.
He fails to admit his interpretations of the constitution are
affected by his personal biases and are not always the result
of rational thought.
