Antonin Scalia didn’t mince words in his dissenting opinion on Friday’s Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. The conservative justice called his colleague Anthony Kennedy’s opinion for the majority “as pretentious as its content is egotistic,” adding that it diminished “this Court’s reputation for clear thinking and sober analysis.” Over the last three decades, he has peppered his dissents (for the most part) with put-downs of his colleagues, plaintiffs, or whatever it was he was angry about on the day of writing. And now, with Mother Jones‘ handy Scalia Insult Generator, you can create your own!

Give it a try:

 

All insults are derived from actual Antonin Scalia quotes, except for “Your mom.” Your mom is fake. Wait, no, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sure she’s lovely.

4 DAYS LEFT—AND EVERYTHING RIDING ON IT

A full one-third of our annual fundraising comes in this month alone. That’s risky, because a strong December means our newsroom is on the beat and reporting at full strength—but a weak one means budget cuts and hard choices ahead.

With just 4 days left, we need a huge surge in reader support to get to our $400,000 year-end goal. Whether you've given before or this is your first time, your contribution right now matters. All gifts are 3X matched and tax-deductible.

Managing an independent, nonprofit newsroom is staggeringly hard. There’s no cushion in our budget—no backup revenue, no corporate safety net. We can’t afford to fall short, and we can’t rely on corporations or deep-pocketed interests to fund the fierce, investigative journalism Mother Jones exists to do. That’s why we need you right now. Please chip in to help close the gap.
