Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a big boo-boo teddy bear whose cheeks I just wanna mush-mush, hides his cuddly body behind a facade of biting wit. I know how it is. According to a study by UC-Irvine professor Richard Hasen, Scalia is the most sarcastic justice, using acerbic humor (probably as a crutch, lol) to underscore his opinions. What does this mean for the wider world?

Nothing. Regardless, Adam Liptak digs into Hasen's study in the Times:

Professor Hasen's methodology is clever but not airtight. He considered assessments of Supreme Court opinions in law review articles from 1986, when Justice Scalia joined the court, through the end of 2013.

There were 134 opinions described as sarcastic or caustic, and Justice Scalia wrote 75 of them, more than all the other justices combined. The index took that number and divided it by the number of years the justice has served.

Hasen told Liptak that his control for the study was that he lives "in the real world." Lol. Okay, Professor "Real World." Yeah.. you live in the real world... of professors. Lmao. Am I right, Scalia? Haha. Listen, text me. I know a place you can work where you'd fit right in... our boss is looking for old conservative white men... seriously text me... we have good benefits and there is an iced coffee machine...
