re: #122 Obdicut

I believe that they’re wrong, yes. And so do many other experts, attorneys, and judges. This is an article about one such person.

The case is being reviewed by the Supreme Court, so that is review at the highest level. Unfortunately, some of the people on the Supreme Court I consider to be extremely discontinuous in their view of the powers of the federal government, and from what they’ve said so far are taking a highly political read on the law. Scalia referencing a provision that wasn’t even in the law, but was something that the right-wing media made a big stink about it— that was embarrassing for him.

Scalia lost his veneer of professionalism in my eyes several years back. But the jaw-dropper in this case was his question of whether he, or perhaps his clerks, would be required to read the entire law. (sorry, “all 2700 pages.”).

while it was played for a laugh, I would still have liked hearing, “well, yes. after all, it is what you’re judging today.”
