RACHEL MADDOW: Justice Scalia Is 'Like The Guy On Your Blog Comment Thread Who Is Using The N-Word'
The liberal Maddow was irked after she traveled to Washington for the high court's oral arguments on the 1965 Voting Rights Act on Wednesday. During the arguments, Scalia — arguably the court's most conservative-leaning justice referred to the VRA's continued renewal by Congress as part of a "perpetuation of racial entitlement."
"I think he does now how that sounds. And that's the neat thing about being there in person, is you can really see — oh, actually, he's a troll," Maddow said, prompting applause from the studio audience.
"He knows it's offensive. And he knows he's going to get a gasp from the court room, which he got. And he loves it. He's like the guy on your blog comment thread who is using the N-word. ... 'Oh, I made you mad? Did I make you mad? Did I make you mad? Did I make you mad?' — he's like that. He's that kind of guy."
