Over the weekend, Sam’s Morning Glory Diner ran a pair of specials that sold out faster than any dish in the South Philly restaurant’s 17-year history. It wasn’t the ingredients that made them a hit — although they were reportedly delicious — it was their titles, which referenced the Supreme Court’s historic June 26 ruling that the right to same-sex marriage is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

The “Antonin Scalia is a Douche” special brought eggs scrambled or in a frittata with andouille sausage, tomato, scallions and monterey jack cheese. There was enough sausage to make around 150 of the dish, and it was so popular on Saturday that it sold out by 10 AM on Sunday morning, within two hours of the doors opening.

“The Supreme Court Finally Got It Right” quiches — with tomatoes, prosciutto, spinach and brie or all veg with asparagus, onion and smoked mozz — sold out even more quickly.

LOL.

All of them sound yummy.

Very funny! Scalia's whinning has reached epic levels.

Sounds like a sausage fest. I hope they offered some pie for the lesbians, or something.

Aren't they the wurst?

It is funny that these Republicans who for some reason are upset that people they don't know nor will ever see can get married think the remedy is to be able to more easily remove Justices.

Because Scalia is the most despised and living in some alternate universe.

One of the comments on another site that carries this story congratulates the diner personnel for using their free speech right as guaranteed by the 1st Amendment, but wonders why they aren't extending the same right to Scalia himself.


I would agree that Justice Douche has a right to free expression. I just think that using his dissenting opinion as a place to express his whiny opinion is kind of a douchey thing to do. If the case is revisited, is counsel going to say, "I think it's important to point out that Scalia didn't like the poetry of the main opinion," as grounds for overturning the decision?

As someone else put it, saying he has a 1st Amendment right to say whatever he wants in his dissent is rather succinctly explaining that the BEST thing you can say about his legal opinion on this case is that it's not illegal for him to hold that opinion.

Of course they're extending the same right to Scalia. No one from the restaurant charged the bench and tried to stuff a sausage down his throat to shut him up.

Actually the diner owner is quite clever, using the era's instant and visceral mob emotion to make a quick buck. Using the temporarily aroused rabble's hooting stereotype of Scalia to make a good bit of coin is good business - far better business than sneering at Justice Roberts, who actually authored the main dissent for all three.

Naturally, in a week such will become 'old news' and the owner will have to look for the next confederate flag moment.

Can we do that???

It would be a motivating reason to become a constitutional lawyer....

I think Scalia is becoming aroused with all this talk.
