Scalia and Casey Martin
Here’s a good one from The Federalist about Scalia’s dissent in the Casey Martin case.
Martin was a disabled professional golfer who wanted to ride in a cart. The PGA rules say players must walk. The court ruled walking isn’t essential to golf and ordered the PGA to let Casey ride.
Scalia dissented. He said the rules of games are arbitrary. That’s what makes them games. He wanted to know where the court got off deciding which rules are essential?
Or something like that – Scalia was wittier.
I drew this cartoon after the court ruled Bush beat Gore in the 2000 election.
Hillary Howls
Donald Trump’s antics are bringing howls.
The campaign has become personal. Trump is attacking Jeb’s family and calling Cruz an unfit liar. Hillary has moved beyond the personal. When a candidate lies she barks like a dog.
That’s a lot of lonely barking.
Mantle of Justice Scalia
On the night Justice Scalia died Republican candidates tried to grab his passing coattails.
During Saturday’s Republican debate Rubio and Cruz said the next president should appoint Scalia’s replacement.
Trump said it was up to Mitch McConnell to block a vote.
Justice Scalia
Kasich said, “It’s not even two minutes after the death of Justice Scalia. I just wish we hadn’t run so fast into politics.”
Kasich also said, “Jeez-oh-man.”
Breakfast with Bernie
On his way from Vermont to South Carolina, Bernie Sanders pulled off in New York for “half a cup of coffee” with Al Sharpton.
Breakfast with Bernie
The old white guy from 90% white Vermont is trailing Hillary by 40% for the minority vote.
Special Place in Hell
Hillary carried the 65-and-over female vote in New Hampshire. And that’s it. Bernie won the overall women’s vote 53% to 46%.
As for women 30 and under, well, there’s a special place in hell for them. 82% supported Sanders.
Politico tells us why.
