Frank calls Scalia a "homophobe"

I don't hate you, kddani, i just don't like congress in general. This is just another incident in which i think politicians are only shooting their mouth off for press.

Thanks, RU OX Alum

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.

Exactly; Scalia is a polarizing figure, and I'm sure there are lots of people out there who have similar thoughts to Frank. However, I don't think that it's a good thing when a member of Congress is leveling personal attacks against a Supreme Court justice.

I always found Frank to be emotional at best and downright hysterical at his worst. He hasn't always practiced the decorum befitting a member of Congress, and this is just more of the same.
