Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court in support of the legal travesty known as the Affordable Care Act found me driving in my car, listening to the radio as I heard the report on King v. Burwell. The air inside my little green Beetle turned blue, as I used language I typically do not use. A sailor would’ve approved.

Justice Antonin Scalia, writing in his dissent, ripped into the court ruling, but used language much more elegant than I. He burned the majority, and his comments were glorious.

Ouch. That’ll leave a mark. SCOTUScare. A true keeper.

He wasn’t done.

You can all have SCOTUScare. I'll take "interpretive jiggery-pokery." #scaliaisms pic.twitter.com/mDG0LdgzQk

Then this biting conclusion.

While Chief Justice John Roberts and the court majority once again affirmed a flawed law, Scalia took no prisoners in castigating the majority. And this wasn’t the only time he has refused to suffer fools. Witness him schooling Sen. Dianne Feinstein in 2011 for her misapplication of the 14th Amendment.

Then again, what else would you expect from the guy who wore a replica of Thomas More’s hat at Obama’s inauguration in 2013?

Matthew Schmitz, writing at the journal First Things, wondered if wearing the hat of the martyred 16th century English jurist was a form of silent protest.

Wearing the cap of a statesman who defended liberty of church and integrity of Christian conscience to the inauguration of a president whose policies have imperiled both: Make of it what you will.

I’m fully expecting to hear that SCOTUS will be making gay marriage the law of the land in the next day, or maybe next week. For whatever it will be worth, at least I can derive some small comfort knowing that on the Supreme Court there sits a justice who champions freedom of religion. I hope he wears that hat as he writes his dissent.
