In which Justice Antonin Scalia (unintentionally) makes us laugh.

t is the opinion of this shebeen that Justice Antonin Scalia should have long ago checked his big bag of fks and realized that he had no more of them to give about his day job. Today, in his dissent from the opinion establishing marriage equality across the land, Short Time really outdid himself.

Not surprisingly then, the Federal Judiciary is hardly a cross-section of America. Take, for example, this Court, which consists of only nine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied at Harvard or Yale Law School. Four of the nine are natives of New York City. Eight of them grew up in east- and west-coast States. Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between. Not a single Southwesterner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner (California does not count).

They'd have voted his way if he were Randolph Scott.
