Antonin Scalia (third from the right)
Antonin Scalia (born 11 March 1936) is currently an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and a Templar puppet.
Appointed to the Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, Scalia is the longest-serving justice currently on the Court and has been described as the intellectual anchor of the Court's conservative wing.
Biography
Presidential election in 2000
Following the controversial 2000 presidential election in the United States, the Supreme Court heard the case Bush v. Gore, where the Court was asked to decide whether to allow a recount of the votes in the State of Florida or order the certification of the election in favor of George W. Bush. Scalia convinced Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the swing vote on the Court, to rule in favor of Bush, appealing to her desire to retire under a Republican president.
Supreme Court work
Upon the resignation of O'Connor in 2005, Scalia ensured that President Bush was given the name of John Roberts, another Templar puppet, as her replacement. With Roberts on the Court, Scalia and the other conservative members of the Court ruled against limits on corporate campaign financing in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, ensuring that Abstergo Industries could secure the election of their preferred candidates for Congress and the presidency.
