Word O' The Day
posted by The Vidiot @ 6:22 PM Permalink PrejudiceDefinition: To judge prematurely and irrationally [Ed: isn't that the definition of Bushco!?]
Etymology: The notion is of "preconceived opinion;" the verb meaning "to affect or fill with prejudice"
Example:
Scalia dismissed the idea that the detainees have rights under the U.S. Constitution or international conventions
[...]
Challenged by one audience member about whether the Gitmo detainees don't have protections under the Geneva or human-rights conventions, Scalia shot back [...] "it's crazy."
Just as a reference plane; Bushco appointee Chief Justice Roberts recused himself because he had previously stated his opinion on the Gitmo case coming before the court.
