Again, you're just being silly.

yes...its called being absurd to highlight absurdity. You made Scalia the point of your essay, you knocked him in the headline for one reason: to get people to read what you wrote. There is a name for those who do that.

So I did read your post. And now I've finished with it.

“Again, you’re just being silly.”

Sounds like a leftist tactic to me...when someone disagrees they are “silly” or “ill informed.”

How original /s

You made Scalia the point of your essay,

Incorrect. My essay was clearly structured in three sections, in a logical order. 1) The power of the judiciary is too expansive 2) The commerce clause is the finest example of this fact 3) If you're counting on conservative justices to save us, think again.

you knocked him in the headline for one reason: to get people to read what you wrote.

Again, incorrect. I included him in the headline in part to draw attention to the essay-- I used the wording I used in a provactive way. There is nothing wrong with that. If you have something to say and you want to be heard, you try to grab people's attention. You don't think El Rushbo does the same thing every day? So the wording of the title is designed to draw attention, but his inclusion in the headline is not random. It's substantive.

Scalia is in the headline because the title of the essay follows the afformentioned structure of the essay: 1)Fed Judiciary 2)Commerce Clause 3)Even a Scalia can't/won't save us from 1 and 2.
