Does anyone actually believe Justice Scalia would call Justice Thomas “a nut,” let alone IN PUBLIC! Such an utterance by Scalia would do more to discredit himself. [by the way the two justices seem to be friends of some degree. Scalia’s son, who became a priest, helped Thomas decide to return to the Catholic Church.]
He DIDN'T. Read the exchange. Scalia didn't even MENTION Thomas. This is something these propaganda phonies are simply making up out of whole cloth!
If you want to see "nuts" on the Supreme Court, look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Or William O. Douglas. Or Earl Warren. Or Hugo Black. All either bonkers or such extremists they'd be dangerous as a Traffic Magistrate.
