Justices Scalia And Kagan Go Hunting For The Most Dangerous Game

by Rebecca Schoenkopf

Sometimes I think evil is a tangible thingNo, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, DO NOT go hunting with Antonin Scalia. Do not get dressed up in your camouflage hunting gear. Do not pick up a weapon. Do not get in the van.

“He’s made a huntress out of me,” Kagan told Mike Gousha, host of “On the Issues” at Marquette’s law school – and about 240 law students listening in on their talk. The justices have bagged pheasant and quail, and plan to go after bigger game out West this fall.

Justice Kagan, we beg you: think of the “precedents”! We already know that Barack Obama threatened to murder Chelsea Clinton if her parents blew the whistle on his birf certificate. We already know that the Clintons murdered EVERYBODY. We already know that former Vice President Dick Cheney used “hunting” as an excuse to shoot an old man in the face. POLITICAL MURDER is the last great bipartisan American way of politics! Do you really think Antonin Scalia would hesitate to rub you out? (MOB TALK.)

“Collegiality” schmollegiality, Elena Kagan, the “bigger game” is YOU. [JournalSentinel]

Justice Kagan's homework before the trip is to write an apology for being shot in the face. You can never be too prepared!

She's safe until we have a Republican president.

anniegetyerfun April 4, 2012 at 1:01 pm

Huntress? HuntRESS? Why does she always have to shove her vagina down our throats?

CivilMcMannerly April 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm

If you have a vagina down your throat, you might be doing it wrong… Or right..? I don't know, at least you're doing it.

WiscDad April 4, 2012 at 1:12 pm

YUCK!!!! Not THAT one

Revenge for all the blow jobs, mostly.

Next thing you know he will offer to show her his etchings.

Baconzgood April 4, 2012 at 1:02 pm

I wouldn't trust Scalia as far as I could throw him. And I gotta bum leg.

"Do not get in the van."
Trust me, I know that sinking feeling you get when you get in the van and realize that there is no candy.

trondant April 4, 2012 at 1:25 pm

Sorry about that.

Advn2rgirl April 4, 2012 at 1:53 pm

There's never a puppy, either.

Schmannnity April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pm

Maybe this "bigger game" will work out after all. I hear Chris Christie is invited too.

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:54 pm

He's more likely to go hunting with Sarah Palin, he likes helicopters.

JohnnyQuick April 4, 2012 at 3:26 pm

They better go out in one of these, or at least a Zeppelin.

johnnyzhivago April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pm

Are they taking Mitt Romney with them to bag some "small varmints"?

freakishlywrong April 4, 2012 at 1:13 pm

You get those hiding behind trees. That are the right height.

Nostrildamus April 4, 2012 at 1:28 pm

MissTaken April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pm

No matter what Scalia tells you, jackalopes are not real.

But they do love whiskey.

SorosBot April 4, 2012 at 1:19 pm

No wonder Souter never found that snape!

RedneckMuslin April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pm

He's turning her. Next thing you know she'll be a joining the NRA.

Biff April 4, 2012 at 1:38 pm

I think she'll have him playing "softball" before that ever happens.

GunToting[Redacted] April 4, 2012 at 1:06 pm

Sounds like Dick Cheney is getting a backup heart!

Once you get to be a Supreme Court Justice you have law clerks to do all the wet work.

“He’s made a huntress out of me,”
As long as he doesn't make a rightwing, birching, ideologue out of you.

Yep. Watch out, what's left of our civil liberties. You're headed the way of the passenger pigeon.

sharethegrief April 4, 2012 at 1:15 pm

What are these things, these civil liberties, that you speak of?

horsedreamer_1 April 4, 2012 at 1:09 pm

Ah, Mike Gousha. Married to a PR specialist for the Milwaukee establishment — mostly Right, but some Center-Right — & the dean of serious journalism here 'cause he has better hair than Mike Jacobs & Ted Perry.

Also: the man is still better that Journal Communications punted on him in favour of pouring their monies for refudiating the Left into PolitiFactWI. Well, suck it, Goose. Live by the 1%, die by the 1%.

Extemporanus April 4, 2012 at 1:15 pm

More importantly, it's pronounced "Goo-SHAY".

CapnFatback April 4, 2012 at 1:10 pm

Why, when I hear the words "Scalia" and "big game," do I think of Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Callyson April 4, 2012 at 1:10 pm

Do not get in the van

Now, now, perhaps Elena Kagan has a plan. Remember that Bjork video where the bear beats up on the hunter?

CapnFatback April 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm

But what if the bear IS the hunter?

edgydrifter April 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm

She's talking about werewolf foreplay, isn't she? Damn, I knew it! The whole SCOTUS is nothing but werewolves.

V572 Hogan Gidley April 4, 2012 at 1:11 pm

Old powerful rich people w/gunz: the way Jebus meant it to be.

Cheney to Harry Whittington: "Old friend, you've got two choices. You can take the blame for this and apologize for getting in my line of fire, or you can die in a pool of your own blood."

elviouslyqueer April 4, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Geez, Antonin, I was just kidding about that whole Hunger Games slash fic thing. Really. Just. Kidding.

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:13 pm

Does anyone else ever wake up every single day and despair, because your still doing that thing you do, that you hate, that you hated since the first day you started doing it, that kills you, every day, kills you inside, but you waited too long to try to get out and now you are so old that changing careers would be impossible, so there's no hope of anything except dying inside every day, every single day, until you really die? Also, Kagan, hunting with Scalia, wow, who'da thunk, huh? I thought she was batting for the other team.

donner_froh April 4, 2012 at 1:19 pm

You mean there are people who don't?

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:24 pm

Don't bat for the other team?

donner_froh April 5, 2012 at 1:19 am

Don't wake up in despair every day.

Lascauxcaveman April 4, 2012 at 1:24 pm

Well, bird hunting is neat fit for the sapphic crowd. Butch flannels and wool, hightop leather boots, 4-wheel-drive vehicles, golden retrievers who actually get to retrieve something, the list goes on…

C_R_Eature April 4, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Most of what I've seen these people do is not "Hunting" Cheney and his Entourage killing 200 pen raised Pheasants at a Pennsylvania game farm is just simply shooting. There's no skill, no "fair chase" and no Sportsmanship involved.

I hope Scalia is different but somehow I don't think so. Most Hunters who are also good Sportsmen are also conservationists and care deeply about the animals and the natural world. That requires empathy, a thing that I'm pretty sure Scalia lacks.

Oh, and Golden Retrievers are great, but the original colour is Black.

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:15 pm

Maybe I should buy a motorcycle! A nice BMW!

Lascauxcaveman April 4, 2012 at 1:32 pm

I am completely in earnest when I say a nice bike ride always makes me feel better. I suffered from long bouts of lethargy and depression before I got off my ass and got physically active.

Motorbikes are good, too. I've got a KZ1100 ready to go whenever I need a real speed rush. But I don't really trust myself riding that much power anymore. I should probably swap it for a Vespa.

Generation[redacted] April 4, 2012 at 1:38 pm

KZ1100, that's hardcore, of the Mad Max variety.

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:55 pm

I'll still have to wake up tomorrow.

Toomush_Infer April 4, 2012 at 5:54 pm

get a horse….on a boat….

horsedreamer_1 April 4, 2012 at 1:15 pm

I lollered.

I apologize for you shooting me in the face, IntenseDebate!

I just hope they are using musket rifles, as the Founders intended.

Deportably_Jose April 4, 2012 at 1:58 pm

Here's an Originalism Fact:

"Cruel and Unusual Punishment" can, really, only refer to things that the original colonists would have considered "cruel and unusual". And let's just remember, they liked to tar and feather people, so.

However, this is only true for the Eight Amendment, and is definitely absolutely not true of the Second Amendment in particular, because the Founders, in their Infinite Wisdom, totally foresaw the advent of breech-loading rifles, handguns, multiple-round magazines, semi-automatic weapons, machine guns, silencers, high-powered rifles, stealth jets, heavy artillery, NBC weapons, and so forth, which is why the Second Amendment isn't limited to the 1780's definition of "arms" as muskets, crappy rifles, cannons, and 18th-century ships of the line.

It's all right there in the text of the Constitution. If you are on acid.

SorosBot April 4, 2012 at 2:04 pm

Where is my thermonuclear bomb? Not letting me have my on nuke violates my second amendment rights!

horsedreamer_1 April 4, 2012 at 2:30 pm

A. Q. Khan is a 2nd Amendment hero.

Lucidamente1 April 4, 2012 at 1:17 pm

Did it ever occur to you that maybe Scalia is the one being set up? ("OK, Tony, if I turn and fire in a hurry like this . . .")

proudgrampa April 4, 2012 at 1:17 pm

What?

Lascauxcaveman April 4, 2012 at 1:18 pm

Scalia, quoted a few days after the hunt:

"The meat was kind of fatty, but the head mounted handsomely. My taxidermist is really an artist."

SorosBot April 4, 2012 at 1:19 pm

I don't know, Kagan's pretty wily there; she could be the one leading Scalia into a trap.

donner_froh April 4, 2012 at 1:21 pm

Scalia is too fat to hunt anything but his next meal at the SCOTUS cafeteria.

weejee April 4, 2012 at 1:28 pm

You forget that he only needs to be delivered to the blind, and the melanin surfeit staff will beat their drums and drive the game to him.

MissTaken April 4, 2012 at 1:23 pm

So who gets to mount their prey?

anniegetyerfun April 4, 2012 at 1:27 pm

I see what you did there. Or, maybe I see something you DIDN'T do there, and that makes me even more of a perv than I originally thought possible.

prommie April 4, 2012 at 1:31 pm

I'll be the judge of perviness here. Its my specialty.

Nostrildamus April 4, 2012 at 1:27 pm

The last line in the Clinton murders link is priceless.

JustPixelz April 4, 2012 at 1:27 pm

That was the moment Clarence Thomas knew he was being replaced by a younger, prettier Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. His time at Antonin's right-hand had passed. And it was at that moment the seed of his revenge began to grow. A seed that would eventually consume the Court. The first step, he knew, was to call Anita; #7 on his speed-dial.

Nostrildamus April 4, 2012 at 1:30 pm

"Kagan the Huntress" is a new Action Comics series.

LesBontemps April 4, 2012 at 1:34 pm

Ruthie gonna kick Elena's ass, 'cause Nino's her man! http://www.oyez.org/tour/rbg-room/rbg_elephant/

Deportably_Jose April 4, 2012 at 1:50 pm

On the bright side, that hunting ability is definitely going to come in handy when Justice Kagan is selected as tribute.

Troglodeity April 4, 2012 at 1:51 pm

Huntress Elena. I could almost fap to that.

OneYieldRegular April 4, 2012 at 2:04 pm

Dammit, she is totally plagiarizing my screenplay idea for merging "10 Little Indians" with "The Most Dangerous Game" in a Supreme Court Justices action film sure to be a mega-hit.

rickmaci April 4, 2012 at 2:06 pm

Am I the only one that has the image of an old Elmer Fudd/Daffy Duck cartoon going through his mind's eye at this moment?

DahBoner April 4, 2012 at 4:16 pm

rub you out

That's also Conservative talk at that freaky get-together in Nortern California, to get you an invite to the nightly Circle Jerk…

glamourdammerung April 4, 2012 at 5:38 pm

When did Scalia take up hunting? I thought he still did that "shoot animals in a confined area" thing with Cheney.

ttommyunger April 4, 2012 at 8:51 pm

"The Most Dangerous Game"? Don't know about that, but the most elusive for Scalia would be Justice; he'll never bag any of that.
