Sen. Russ Feingold: Samuel Alito behavior 'inappropriate'

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) sharply criticized Samuel Alito's reaction to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, calling the conservative Supreme Court justice’s behavior “inappropriate.”

During last night's address, Obama took aim at the Supreme Court's decision to gut campaign finance restrictions for corporations and labor unions. While Supreme Court justices typically maintain stoic dispositions during State of the Union addresses, Alito, who joined the 5-4 opinion, appeared to mouth the words “not true” as Obama spoke.

"That's not very judicial of him," Feingold told POLITICO. "Apparently, he thinks he gets to make the law. He should maintain his judicial demeanor, and that was inappropriate."

Unreal, Alito motioning no with his head and mouthing you lie in wrong to Feingold but Obama criticizing the Supreme Court in front of the Justices on prime time TV in O.K.? What planet are the left from?

[Ben Mugged]

Making the law is apparently only the purview of liberal judges.

Feingold is just cranky because he is losing by 4 to a guy who hasn’t even decided to run yet.

Well look, Finegold is the moron who worked with McCain to get this unconstitutional piece of legislation passed. Why would ANYONE care what his reaction was?

Is Mr. Feingold a little bit teed off that his Magnus DOpus was tinkered with?

[FormerACLUmember]

Obama is a shameless thug and Feingold is an enabler.

[gibtx2]

lets make it in play

[mojitojoe]

He didn’t say “You lie”. He should have but he didn’t. She said “that’s not true”. Barry the Marxist Kenyan got off easy. I wish he would have gone Joe Wilson on Barry Soetoro’s as*.

[dumpthelibs]

Hey Feingold. Go Fu*k yourself. We’re done putting up with you and your cronies lying & stealing & deceiving us any more. Get used to saying “do you want fries with that sir?”. A**wipe!

“What planet are the left from?”

Uranus....

[Frantzie]

“Alito acted stupidly”
Obama

This country is looking more and more like CHavez Venezuela or Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.

[Mr. Jazzy]

What a pathetic little bitch Feingold is.

You want to talk about “inappropriate”, how about the Punk In Chief insulting the court members in his “State Of The Revolution” address!

Piss off, Russ!

A planet called “Desperation”.
