It was, but beyond that, it was the heighth of folly and stupidity. One does not tread lightly on the institutional jealousies among the three co-equal branches of our federal government, and here he is, some half-wit junior senator from Illinois trying to verbally bully the roughest, toughest bunch of trial lawyers (metaphorically speaking) in the land? Other than Ginsberg, who clearly seems to have gone past her use-by date, all of the other justices were clearly shocked by the impertinence of his lame attempt to bully them. He's just lost the one group of friends he will end up really needing - thuggish Chiefs of Staff come and go, but a well-disposed Supreme Court is a joy forever. He's going to have a hard time even meeting the "rational basis" test on some of the cases he brings before them.

I’m not so sure, don’t some of them think exactly like he does? A few of them probably agree with his argument.

I agree completely, BIG mistake to tick off the court.

Anyone with half a brain knows the court really runs the country.
