Get over it? Seriously? Get over it? That is Justice Scalia's advice to everyone when it comes to Bush v. Gore. Now, if I'm not mistaken that case is precedent and has not been overturned, so no one actually SHOULD be getting over it. Its absurd to me that this was his response. He could have picked a million other things to say, other than "get over it" and I would have been fine. But this was just dismissive, and beyond arrogant; so much so that it really has to make you wonder about the wisdom of a counter-majoritarian body with such power.
Go and watch the short little video here and/or watch 60 minutes for the full interview (he is promoting a new book) on Sunday night.
