And, boy, did it work better for Justice Scalia! As Twitchy reported, his dissent in the King vs. Burwell decision could only be described as blistering. Just how blistering?
I want to form a punk band called Scalia's Blistering Dissent.

Beautiful.
This list of 14 words used in his dissent really just says it all. Take a look, fist pump and shout, “Amen!”

@ChloeSchama @ron_fournier Agree with his conclusions or not, memorable dissent. Pure applesauce? Can't wait to steal it, credit the source.
