Most interesting point. Watching his behavior lately is like watching a five-year-old throwing a

temper tantrum in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. He seems SUPER pissed about something. His ego can't take it when he's unable to steer the court his particular way? Another manifestation of the republi-CON "Sore Loserman"? I don't know.

From this thread by DUer spanone:

Remember earlier this week, when scalia was acting out, throwing this hissy-fit after the Arizona "papers please" law was mostly struck down (against his majesty's wishes)? And everyone was talking about his belligerent behavior, yowling about it from the bench, and acting like a pissed-off diva?

Made me wonder if he was pissed off because he wasn't able to drive the court his way, as he mostly does for the CON point of view, and his ego was knocked WAY outta joint. Usually, with the force of his personality and his in-yer-face "fat tony" mafioso schtick that I'm CERTAIN he uses to bully the court, he's able to influence the outcome of many rulings. And he failed this time - not once with the Arizona bullshit but also with this. And he knew it in advance even though this one today wasn't released to the public yet. So he was acting out.

I just had this suspicion, observing his spoiled snot-nose behavior, that he was dreadfully pissed off about something. Undoubtedly it was this. Judging from the way he was misbehaving, he CLEARLY had wanted those rulings, especially the public "insult" and repudiation of HIS side of things on the health care issue, to go another way.

It was tell-tale about something. But I didn't realize it was THIS.

Well, how 'bout that? The good guys win one - and a BIG one, too.
