Justice Scalia Appoints Himself to Head Imaginary Defense Team for Imaginary Trial of Imaginary Agent Jack Bauer

The present age prefers the sign … to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence … for in these days, illusion only is sacred, truth profane.
--Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach, 1804-1872
