In Which Antonin Scalia Finally Forfeits His Intellectual Pretensions

Seriously, you can't make this up; Justice Scalia on actually reading the Affordable care act, under review by the Supreme Court (on which, the good Justice might note, he is sits and is paid handsomely to do so):

JUSTICE SCALIA: You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?
(Laughter.)
JUSTICE SCALIA: And do you really expect the Court to do that? Or do you expect us to give this function to our law clerks?
(Laughter.)
JUSTICE SCALIA: Is this not totally unrealistic? That we’re going to go through this enormous bill item by item and decide each one?

Yes, Nino. We expect you to do your job. Sorry; but you will have health care no matter how you rule.

Edited to add: As a great conservative used to hold, the first three steps task in interpreting a statute (necessary to determine if it conflicts with the Constitution) is to "read the statute, Read the Statute, READ THE STATUTE." No more, apparently. How far we've come!
