Judicial temperament?

Justice openly disagrees with Obama in speech

Alito visibly responds negatively when president mentions recent decision

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito didn't like hearing President Barack Obama publicly criticize the high court's ruling removing corporate campaign spending limits — and he didn't try to hide it.

Alito made a dismissive face, shook his head repeatedly and appeared to mouth the words "not true" or possibly "simply not true" when Obama assailed the decision Wednesday night in his State of the Union address...

Senate Democratic leaders sitting immediately behind Alito and other members of the high court rose and clapped loudly in their direction, with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., leaning slightly forward with the most enthusiastic applause. :D

Such a big pout over such a small reproach. Sensitivity's what he's all about. Cried all the way to the RNC's VIH* lounge, I'll bet.

It's kind of funny to read this post after all of these months considering the bullying that the justices encountered at the SOTU Address.

The Supremes are like human tea leaves - people read all kinds of stuff into what they do or say. Alito probably made a face because he had gas.
