DMCA | Antonin (Short Time) Scalia had another attack of burlesque "originalism" in the concurrence he insisted on reading Thursday morning when the Supreme Court found against the president in the case of Canning v. U.S., a case that held that the president cannot make recess appointments as long as somebody remembers to prop Mitch McConnell's empty suit up at his desk. (I'm paraphrasing.) Scalia, who simply is the world heavyweight champeen at not giving a fck, argued that the clause in the Constitution allowing recess appointments only could apply during formal Senate recess because that's the way the Founders wanted it. |
