1. Wilson. There's a huge difference between saying something to

yourself that no one can hear, and shouting out something for an entire room of hundreds to hear, in a complete lack of decorum.

Huge difference.

14. However, what Wilson did reflected only upon himself

while what Alito did reflected upon the neutrality of the Supreme Court.

I'd give it to Alito, because as an experienced jurist he KNEW that he should not do that, he is NOT some congressional back bencher who probably won't last out the decade in his seat.

2. Alito... by virtue of the damage he can do to the Republic.

And if he was "saying it to himself".. why would we know about it?

[brendan120678]

3. Because it was caught on camera.

If there were no cameras in the chamber for the SOTU, then nobody would have known about it.

8. "to himself" can be done without external signifiers..

if one is not a child.

[treestar]

4. I pick Joe "you lie" Wilson

For some reason that bugs me more. Maybe because it was out loud and you couldn't miss it, whereas I missed Alito.

5. In general, or for their behavior in joint session?

Alito wins a lifetime achievement award, but Wilson still holds the Golden Douchebag for worst performance in a joint session.

13. Good question,

I have to say that I agree with you, if only because Alito can do more damage being on the court.

[yellowcanine]

6. Doesn't matter. Even a little douchebag is still a douchebag. Both of them are douchebags.

Once you have proven yourself to be a douchebag, size doesn't matter.

7. Wilson

He was rude and disruptive.

If the camera hadn't been on Scalia, we wouldn't have known what his response was.

[GodlessBiker]

9. Politicians can fight. Justices should be neutral, at least in public. Alito is an asshole

[90-percent]

10. Alito

Single handedly bringing down Democracy in America is a stunning achievement.

Alito has reached a goal that eluded Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Stalin, and Bush/Cheney!

His accomplishment is stunning in it's impact on life as we know it. It will have the same effect on America and the World as a 10 degree Celsius rise in global temperate happening within the next month!

11. Wilson

Because sadly he is an elected "representative" from SC, although he certainly does not represent all of the interests of his district (e.g. my parents are die hard Dems and are actively working with Rob Miller's campaign to unseat the SOB).

[RaleighNCDUer]

16. By that same argument, Alito, because he is supposed to be neutral

in political matters and speak for the Constitution - and he is in HIS seat for LIFE. He's not going to be voted out no matter what he says or does, short of being impeached.

[RT Atlanta]

18. true dat

They're both shitstains as far as I am concerned...

[KittyWampus]

12. photo finish

lol!

[gratuitous]

15. If two dogs piddle on the carpet

You're more upset by the one you thought was housebroken. 'Nuff said.

[JitterbugPerfume]

17. Alito

because he has unfettered power as an unelected judge for life and should answer to a higher standard of decorum

Joe Wilson is just a no nothing teabagging douche

[OllieLotte]

19. Wilson - Obama - Alito...in that order. n/t
