Philly diner’s ‘Antonin Scalia is a Douche’ brunch special sells out in record time

A Philadelphia diner’s topically titled menu items were such a hit with customers this weekend, the restaurant couldn’t keep up with demand, the Billy Penn reports.

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage is a legal right for all Americans, regardless of the couple’s gender composition. Justice Antonin Scalia was not happy with the decision, calling the ruling “a threat to American democracy” in his written dissent.

Friday is also the day Sam’s Morning Glory Diner comes up with the names of its weekly breakfast specials. This week, the Philadelphia restaurant put two new items on its menu, drawing inspiration from current events.

“Antonin Scalia is a Douche,” an egg dish with vegetables, cheese, and andouille sausage (for which there was enough meat to make 150 servings) sold out before 10 AM on Sunday. “The Supreme Court Finally Got It Right” quiches, available with or without prosciutto ham, were gone in less time than that.

1. Kennedy and the four Justices nominated by Democratic Presidents got it right.

The Court as a whole seldom gets anything right. Didn't in FDR's time and still doesn't.

One more partisan group we have to support. Only we can't vote them out every two, four or six years.

Thing is, the Framers did not know the nation would fall into the hands of one political party or THE other.

Then again. I can't fault them very much: Creating a perfect human institution is not possible.

2. But I like Scalia's decision in the enhanced jail time case.

Scalia wrote the Majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice Roberts. GINSBURG, BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., joined.

KENNEDY, J., and THOMAS, J., filed opinions concurring in the judgment (Both agreed that the clause was abused in this case, but said the courts could solve the problem of such abuse on their own and thus the Clause in question was NOT unconsitutional)

ALITO, J., filed a dissenting opinion.

Under the Armed Career Criminal Act of 1984, a defendant convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm faces more severe punishment if he has three or more previous convictions for a “violent felony,” a term defined to include any felony that “involves conduct that presents a serious potential risk of physical injury to another.” 18 U. S. C. §924(e)(2)(B)....

Unlike other judicial mistakes that need correction, the error of having rejected a vagueness challenge manifests itself precisely in subsequent judicial decisions: the inability of later opinions to impart the predictability that the earlier opinion forecast. Here, the experience of the federal courts leaves no doubt about the unavoidable uncertainty and arbitrariness of adjudication under the residual clause. Even after Sykes tried to clarify the residual clause’s meaning, the provision remains a “judicial morass that defies systemic solution,” “a black hole of confusion and uncertainty” that frustrates any effort to impart “some sense of order and direction.....

We hold that imposing an increased sentence under the residual clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act violates the Constitution’s guarantee of due process. Our contrary holdings in James and Sykes are overruled. Today’s decision does not call into question application of the Act to the four enumerated offenses, or the remainder of the Act’s definition of a violent felony

6. "Unlike other judicial mistakes that need correction"

I hope they are referring to CU, but I highly doubt it. You'd think after they saw the results they might change their opinion. Unless they are bought and paid for just like the politicians.

3. They got that right....Scalia is a douche

4. Monday morning coffee tastes great!

A week cannot start off better than this.

5. I wouldn't have been able to keep it down

Just picturing the face of the person it was named after --->

8. Call me squeamish, but I don't really want to eat anything with the word "douche" in the description

or anything with "Scalia" in it either, for that matter.
