Scalia Unable To Name All 9 Supreme Court Justices

[joeybee12]

WASHINGTON—Associate Justice Antonin Scalia struggled to recall the names of all nine active Supreme Court justices while playing a trivia game Thursday, sources confirmed. "Let's see, there's Breyer, um…Ginsburg. Pretty sure that's one. And, uh, there's that guy with the bow tie and the pinched face," said Scalia, noting that his difficulty in answering stemmed largely from the significant turnover on the nation's highest court since he memorized the names of its members in high school. "I can picture him in the photo, but what's his name? Oh, I remember Clarence Thomas, of course, because of the Anita Hill thing, and then there's that Mexican woman with the name that's impossible to pronounce. And…Kerrigan?" After initially declining offers of a hint, Scalia reportedly caved in and asked if someone could just give him the first couple letters of each justice's last name.

1. Do you know how far....

Do you know how far I got before I saw the "Onion" tag. Had a whole paragraph response written. Bajeezus those guys are good. I can't tell you how many time I've gotten caught. 'Course, I can't tell you how many times I've thought "Oh, please tell me that's from The Onion"... and it wasn't.

2. Lucky for me

I read your response before composing my own reply.

3. Well, Scalia didn't know much about the healthcare law as to what was in it...

So it's easy tho think this is real news...actually it probably is moer real than what we get from the MSM.

6. I hate myself for being seduced into believing just for a few seconds...

that this paragraph was true. I am heartbroken.

[joeybee12]

10. You know, it might be true...

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know the others...especially the four who don't vote like he tells them to.

[Lost-in-FL]

11. That's true... you never know.

Or that he is so full of himself that he do not even acknowledge who the others are.

12. He said that the case in 2000 was Gore vs Bush before the SCOTUS

and the ruling was 2-7 in Bush's favor. And that is NOT the onion (but probably what they are making fun of him over).

[joeybee12]

13. He also asked about a provision in the ACA this past week...

Which never made it into the final bill...he's an idiot.

[Rex]

14. Is it on purpose? It is scary to believe he really

would be that callous or stupid about important facts. Sadly, he and Clarence are still young and will sit on the bench for many more years... sorry couldn't hold it in.

15. It's just fun to read, even if it goes on for 2700 pages. /nt
