http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/legal-challenges/219171-dems-fume-over-justice-scalias-healthcare-commentsDemocrats are fuming over Justice Antonin Scalias conduct during this weeks Supreme Court deliberations on President Obamas healthcare law.
Scalia appeared hostile to the law while several of the high courts liberal justices seemed to cheerlead for its defense. But it was Scalias attitude that rubbed some Democrats the wrong way.
Scalia mocked the so-called Cornhusker Kickback without seeming to know that provision was stripped out of the law two years ago.
Scalia also joked the task of having to review the complex bill violated the Eighth Amendments ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Congress passes unnecessarily complicated bills that might drive some of us mad were we to try and make logic out of them.
That being said, Scalia still comes across as an uneducated lout.
