Has Justice Scalia resigned from SCOTUS?

Has Justice Scalia resigned from SCOTUS?

The Borowitz Report @ the New Yorker website published a report that Justice Scalia resigned SCOTUS over same sex 'marriage'. I don't see this headline one any other news source.

The New Yorker does not allow FR to carry their content, so you will have to Google 'Borowitz' and 'Scalia Leaves' to find the article.

So I am presuming that is satire?

Or some type of a liberal 'hit piece' on Justice Scalia?

Not terribly witty, if so.

Can anyone confirm?

Even a rumor of him doing so would be breaking news nationwide.

He's a comedian or satirist or whatever.

He also says Scalia is leaving the country.

Let’s hope this isn’t true.

The New Yorker has gone off the deep end on the Left. They would prefer a Stalinist state with the Liberal Illuminati in charge.

Sure, and Scalia is just so many emotionallyweak.

Lame try at shaping opinions

Thanks!

I’d never heard of Borowitz before.

A friend sent the link and I wasn’t sure how to take it.

I still don’t see the humor.
Aren’t these types of satire pieces supposed to be clever and funny?

Uh-oh. Even if humor, I hope this doesn’t mean the Court is not leaning in a Scalia direction.

Stupid stuff. Like liberals theorizing over Palin, or guns, or homos, or the weather, or almost anything.

Ok, Ruth Buzzi Gisnburg and Sonija Sotomayer have both declared themselves ineligible to determine due to massive PMS syndrome.

They have petitioned God to the court and are waiting.

There’s a “HUMOR” tag on the New Yorker article.

Global Climate Change is causing an increased incidence of homosexuality, gun violence, cat AIDS, and Sarah Palin political fundraisers. Oh no!!!

I think they are trying to influence him like the Leno ‘resignation’ where they floated his replacement for a while to get him to go away.

The Washington Post and Huffington Post both had editorials today calling for him to resign.

It’ E.J. Dionne, not the editorial board of WaPo.
