Scalia Supreme Courts first Talk Radio Justice.

Broccoli is evil.

Even Pres Bush (HW) knew broccoli was an evil liberal plant.

Fried has been "scaldingly critical" of Scalia and other conservative justices for their willingness to "traffic in some of the most well-worn Tea Party tropes about Obamacare" according to the Washington Post's Greg Sargent. Sargent quotes Fried:

I was appalled to see that at least a couple of them were repeating the most tendentious of the Tea Party type arguments .... I even heard about broccoli. The whole broccoli argument is beneath contempt. To hear it come from the bench was depressing.
Jonathan Chait likened Scalia to "an angry Fox News-watching grandfather," and noted that the "Cornhusker Kickback" was "stripped out before the final bill, but Scalia seems not to know that."

Indeed, Scalia's rhetoric during oral arguments will sound familiar to Dittoheads and regular Fox viewers.

Didn't really see anything trying to disprove the arguments. Just a variety red herring logical fallacies.

Kagan did not recuse herself, so indeed. So much for impartial jurors.

@shinobinoz Said

You'd think the Supreme Court Justice would know better than use red herring argument.

The argument they are using is closer to the slippery slope argument which is considered an informal logical fallacy. While slippery slope arguments should be avoid when possible, they do have to be given some consideration in Supreme Court cases as decisions made by the court are used in future cases as precedent.

Myself and many others feel giving the federal government the authority to coerce citizens into buying a particular product is a dangerous precedent to set.
