1. He looks like an Undead

Nice hat, Scalia.

[Cha]

17. omg, lol..

I didn't know what you meant by "nice hat" I got scalia mixed up with thomas(like he wasn't wearing one)..so I went back and checked it out:rofl::wtf:

[leftstreet]

18. Some DUer asked if he thought he was from the Court of the Medici

:rofl:

[Cha]

23. Probably...you know

a few of the supreme court justices aren't quite here.

[Historic NY]

41. Thats it the hat......

:rofl: it makes him look so guido like.

[question everything]

28. Same thoughts! What kind of a hat is it?

Do Supreme Court Justices set their own fashion? Remember when Rehnquist added stripes to his robe?

[Drunken Irishman]

34. OMG! Ever see Land of the Dead?

[kirby]

2. If you have ever been to the Supreme Court arguments...

You would know he is ALWAYS sleeping. I've been several times and each time he was nodding off. I thought it was very disrespectful to the attorneys arguing 'their' most important case.

6. Clarence Thomas votes however the RNC wants him to vote.

n/t

[elocs]

9. Well that saves on having to do a lot of thinking. n/t

[question everything]

29. I have often wondered whether Thomas has ever said anything during these

hearings. Ever asked a question? Requested clarification? Ever wrote his own concurring or dissenting opinion?

He is just there.

[kirby]

40. He likes written stuff...

I have heard him interviewed. He says he dislikes the oral arguments and has normally made up his mind based on the written briefs. He rarely asks a question (unless he is talking in his sleep). I think he has written his own opinion when Scalia was too liberal for him.

3. I don't know, all I could see was the pasty skin of smarmy Eric Cantor (R-VA) ...

And now I'm searching out a sharpened pencil so that I may mercifully gouge out my eyeballs. :evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

5. I can't stand that idiot

:puke: :puke:

Saw him too much when I lived in Central VA. He's a bloviating moron.

[Thrill]

4. Donna Brazille said he was trying his best not to cry

She said that on CNN during the parade

[rvablue]

26. I saw Donna on ABC too and I thought she said she caught him on film wiping a tear away!

That was a good/fun interview.

Did you catch the part when she said she had taken Obama's fleece blanket? Cute!

[gauguin57]

7. No, he's looking at the porno mag under his robe.

Long Dong Silver is at it again.

[SuperTrouper]

12. or the Coca Cola can with a pubic hair

:puke:

[Dennis Donovan]

8. I don't know, but Christopher Columbus has gotten FAT!

:rofl:

[leftstreet]

10. ...

:spray:

[Chiyo-chichi]

32. Ha!

[rateyes]

11. That hat makes Scalia look like

a penis with a condom.

[TTUBatfan2008]

14. LMFAO...

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

13. That's his "Obama can't stand me" look. :)

[Historic NY]

15. dreaming about driving his motor home...

One of his passions is the 40-foot motor home he and his wife use to explore the United States in their downtime.

[Dennis Donovan]

20. "Swinging" via an RV?

:D

[BattyDem]

16. WTF is Scalia wearing?

:rofl:

[Muttocracy]

21. big earmuffs + little hat! nt

[BattyDem]

22. He looks like a little old lady at a funeral!

:rofl:

[jobycom]

19. He looks like that a lot. I wonder about his health.

He always looks worn out.

I wonder, though, if he was trying to keep from looking into the camera, knowing that everyone would want to see his expression. "Hey, everyone, look how the conservative black guy reacts!" Though I despise him as a sycophantic toadie, I can understand him not wanting to become the token conservative African American pedagogic example for the media at the inauguration.

[Pyrzqxgl]

24. Brain Dead.

[Ian David]

25. No, I don't think he's asleep. I think he's masturbating. n/t

[Renew Deal]

27. lol

Lights out! :hangover:

:rofl:

[rasputin1952]

30. When is he awake? And if he is awake at any given time...

can anyone tell?

Scalia looks like he's ready to accuse the individual to his right of breaking wind.

[Fearless]

31. He's awake. Zoom in really close... Here, take a look...

His eyes are in shadows but you can see pupils if you brighten the photo and add contrast.

Edit: It's fun, but best not to start rumors.

ReEDIT: I put in a valid photo link.

[Chiyo-chichi]

33. I'm not starting any rumors. Looks like he's asleep to me and I asked DUers for their thoughts.

And your photo doesn't show up.

I zoomed in as much as possible on the panorama that was posted and I don't see his pupils.

[Fearless]

35. I see the photo. Hmm... strange... Hold on...

And I'm not saying that you're starting rumors. I was just making benign commentary.

[Chiyo-chichi]

37. OK. I would argue that if those are his pupils, his eyes are seriously crossed.

[Fearless]

38. Hehe...

Well, yours would be too if you got to sit so close to your anti-christ. :rofl:

FTR, his head is inclined to the left and he's looking down. :+

[Skittles]

36. I don't know but he sure is fugly

[bdamomma]

39. probably so.

look at Scalia, mafia king!!!!!!!!!

[elleng]

42. Dunno,

but he greeted someone effusively when they were walking in. Was surprised to see such emotion from him!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

43. that's a lot of poundage on those two justices!...life must be good
