Was he the bully-ed or the bully when he was in school…
Bullying is not reserved for the brawny
Brainiacs can be as vicious…or more so…
Translation: He’s a nasty little old man.

This is news?
So many broccoli comments to make, so little time to make them (let’s hope).
Maybe it’s a misprint and is supposed to read “sadistic”, not “sarcastic”?

he’s a political hack. if he was an ideologue he would have went the other way on bush v. gore
Sarcasm, BFD, it’s his partisan pound against America and dragging his puppet along with him that really sucks. If he were fair and sarcastic, we would never have heard about this.

There most certainly IS a good reason to doubt his intelligence. When you read some of his opinions, especially those that involve science, it is blatantly apparent that he doesn’t have the understanding of what he is talking about that a junior high student has. He is confused about how climate and weather work; he is ignorant of what evolution is all about; he can’t wrap his mind around some of the simplest scientific concepts. Then there are the mental and logical contortions he goes through in order to justify his preordained decisions that are really based on far right dogma.
While he claims to be an originalist who can magically determine what the people who wrote the Constitution intended, he won’t look at their contemporary writings for clarification of what they meant, especially when those comments contradict his decision of what they intended. Being irrational is a sign of lack of intelligence, and many of his statements and opinions are blatantly irrational. To argue that torture is allowed by the Constitution because the CIA wasn’t using torture as a form of punishment is absurd. And this is one of his more lucid statements!

That is hitting the nail squarely on the head. Sarcasm itself is irrelevant. How it is used and why it is used is the important part. When it is backed by sound argument, then it can be tolerated, but when it is substituted for sound argument because there is no sound argument in support of his position, then it is malpractice.
When you are consistently wrong ! Then you try to be sarcastic about events and actions, taken when possible.
“Sarcasm is the wit of puny minds.” Ivy Dodson, Huntsville High School, ca 1966.
. Sarcasm is laced with truth and indicates an underlying anger or hostility that seeks escape. Even self-deprecation done in a joking manner may indicate a poor self-image, or an attempt at humbling an otherwise overconfident persona.
Yep! Sarcasm is the wrong word for it. Sarcasm requires wit. Scalia is all hate, bile, acrimony, and authoritarianism. as informed by his Iron Age cult. Chris Christie likewise. Same with cantaloupe-thigh King and king-crab Gohmert.
Being a boorish loudmouth is not the same as being sarcastic, at least to me. Scalia is no Jon Stewart.

Neither was Al Capone or Benito Mussolini.
scalia is no longer into forming reasoned legal opinions. he just votes his prejudices. he is an embarassment to jurisprudence. a political hack of the worst sort.
