Also, I don’t think that I have ever seen one justice refer to another as “mad as a hatter” before.

That is nothing new for Scalia...he used to basically call Justice O'Connor an idiot in many decisions. But he says it so eloquently.

LOL - I have to read more of his opinions, just for the humor factor. IANAL, I don’t play one on TV, and I slept at home last night - I usually just give defference to the USSC on their decicions.

Some exceptions apply - Roe v. Wade, eg.

And, I wouldn’t call it “eloquently” - more like, obliquely. He said, IIRC, you would have to be mad as a hatter to believe what my opponent does.

That is a technique I have seen on various FR threads - “You must be a child rapist to defend the constitutional rights of FLDS”, eg.

It is astounding to see it in the USSC.
