When discussing the use of enhanced interrogation techniques to fellow judges Justice Antonin Scalia said the following
"Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. ... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives," Judge Scalia said. Then, recalling...where the agent's rough interrogation tactics saved California from a terrorist nuke, the Supreme Court judge etched a line in the sand.A lot of liberals are going to be upset by this statement, but Jack Bauer is a patriotic American who has stood up to terrorists and done his part to ensure our freedoms. We need more Jack Bauers in America. If all Americans acted like him, there would be no terrorist threat.
"Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?" Judge Scalia challenged his fellow judges. "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.
"So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes."

There would be a lot less of everything that hurts America if more of us would emulate him. Less crime. Less intense crime. Imagine how great it would be to be to fend off a criminal's attack simply by instilling in that person the morbid fear of being given the sissy slapping he/she so richly deserved.
Um, Bill? Did anyone tell Justice Scalia that Jack Bauer isn't a real person, he's just a television character?
Real or fictional, Jack Bauer embodies all that is great in America.
