Scalia rips lawmakers as being as sleepy and lazy
San Jose Mercury News:
"Commenting in a case involving cocaine sentences, Scalia wrote briefly to criticize one part of Justice Sonia Sotomayor's majority opinion that delved into legislative history. In particular, Scalia did not like that Sotomayor made reference to congressional testimony by a Yale medical school professor.
Scalia said the outcome of the case would be the same even if the professor 'had not lectured an undetermined number of likely somnolent congressmen on the 'damaging effects of cocaine smoking on people in Peru.''"
