Ginsburg calls out Roberts

[merrily]

26. You obviously have not read a lot of Supreme Court opinions.

Justices call each other in opinions out all the time.

Not ad hominem, of course, but saying how wrong, foolish, etc. the Justices who disagreed with them were and how their decisions will open the door for this catastrophe or that.

If you are quibbling with the term "call out," as opposed to some other label, I think it's a distinction without a difference.

And no one could trivialize the Court if the Justices had not done that to themselves, with all their 5-4 decisions that split along partisan lines over and over. Not to mention Bush v. Gore, which Scalia thinks we should stop mentioning.

Did I mention Bush v. Gore?

P.S. The American Bar Association rated Thomas unqualified, as did Anita Hill. Our blessed Senate confirmed him anyway. So there is now precedent for not having to qualify. They barely qualified O'Connor, but I she did get qualified and is head and shoulders over Thomas in every way.
