Jon Stewart skewers Scalia after his string of Supreme Court outbursts
Youtube/Comedy Central
"The crankiness of Scalia's insults run inverse to his intellectual consistency," Stewart said, mocking Scalia's use of the phrases "pure applesauce" and "jiggery-pokery" before calling him a hypocrite over his gay-marriage dissent.
"The judges should never overturn the will of the voters. It's a core Scalia principle," Stewart said, referencing Scalia's comments that the gay marriage ruling was decided by a "highly unrepresentative panel of nine."
"Unless the voters' will was for Obamacare, which [Scalia] was glad to try to destroy the day before. Or if the voters wanted to limit campaign-finance spending, then he had no problem telling the people to f- off at that time," Stewart said, a direct shot at the landmark Citizens United ruling in 2010.
But Stewart admitted he felt bad for Scalia. And in a "gesture of empathy," he treated viewers to a short cartoon titled "Justice Antonin Scalia and his terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day."
