Justice Scalia's opponents torch the Quidditch World Cup

In a speech on the Senate floor yesterday, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) compared people who disagree with Justice Antonin Scalia to the Death Eaters, a racist, Ku Klux Klan-like band of terrorists who support the evil Lord Voldemort in the fictional Harry Potter books:

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) likened conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to famous fictional character Harry Potter on Wednesday and suggested his liberal detractors were like the "death eaters" depicted in the popular children's series.

"If this was a Harry Potter movie, liberals would put Justice Scalia on a wanted poster as undesirable number one," said Hatch. "And yet they just can't seem to look away. The principles and laws on which he stands are so compelling… that whether you love him or hate him, you simply must deal with him."

In the seventh Harry Potter book, the "death eaters" refer to Harry Potter as "undesirable number one" and dispense wanted posters bearing his name across the wizarding world.
