Democrats are fuming over Justice Antonin Scalia’s conduct during this week’s Supreme Court deliberations on President Obama’s healthcare law.

Scalia appeared hostile to the law while several of the high court’s liberal justices seemed to cheerlead for its defense. But it was Scalia’s attitude that rubbed some Democrats the wrong way.

Scalia mocked the so-called “Cornhusker Kickback” without seeming to know that provision was stripped out of the law two years ago.

Scalia also joked the task of having to review the complex bill violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

1. MAybe if the supreme twit took the time

to read the law he would not be asking asinine questions, further proving his fox mentality.

2. Scalia and Thomas need to be investigated and replaced. They disgrace the process.

The other repukes are no better.

3. Yet the idiot will rule on it with no idea what is in there

hell he might as well have voted last week by the sounds.
It is a corruption and sham.

5. His Remarks On "Reading" The Bill

really pissed me off.
Isn't reading part of their job?

6. Eh. I kind of agree with him on that.

Congress passes unnecessarily complicated bills that might drive some of us mad were we to try and make logic out of them.

That being said, Scalia still comes across as an uneducated lout.
