Frank calls Scalia a "homophobe"

For the record, I don't believe that a member of Congress should shoot their mouth off in that manner. Surely there was a better way for him to get his point across. I'm fine with a critique of the Supreme Court and its justices, but when you're in the spotlight, you have to make a better choice of words.

I don't believe a member of Congress should be allowed to speak like that. (Think what you want, but speaking like that is another issue)

Yeah, pretty much. I think both Scalia and Frank are rather polarazing but they are kind of...I don't know...second stringers in the world of U.S. politics. It's like when B-list celebrities are in the tabloids/rehab. Either way, I don't really care much for either one of them.

Whose outrage? Frank's? The people reacting to Frank? The people who think its all BS? I think it's BS, but i'm not really outraged.
