WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Justice Antonin Scalia dropped a bombshell on the Supreme Court today, announcing his decision to resign from the Court “effective immediately” and leave the United States forever.

Calling this week “by far the worst week of my life,” Justice Scalia lashed out at his fellow-Justices and the nation, saying, “I don’t want to live in a sick, sick country that thinks the way this country apparently thinks.”

I knew that was a joke.

I knew that was a joke.

Me too, but I really wished I was wrong

[Mehmentum]

You cruel, cruel person. 

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

He will almost certainly be there to ensure that in 2016 or 2020 should there be a conservative prez, to have a tradtl court.

They're funnier.

You made my day and seconds later you destroyed it.

Hopefully the original poster resigns from the forum.

We ain't that lucky + "leave the US forever" right away clued me that it was a joke.

Still, when I saw the title I thought it a very, very remote possibility that someone could have ticked him off, because he is an ideologue, but nah. We're stuck with him till he's about 100.

Great, I hate the borowitz report, three of my friends are going to post this to FB as news today for sure.

He's usually painfully unfunny.

[Beezer]

I'll stick to The Onion for my fake news, thank you very much.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

This was not funny, nor was it misleading.

[LeBron]

Honest to God, when I posted this, I thought it was real. I'm as pissed as the next person that Borowitz pulled this sh**t and there were even people on FB who believed it initially when the Being Liberal page posted it.

1. I don't see how anyone could fall for this, at least beyond seeing the initial headline out of context.
2. Posting the whole thing like that violates the forum's rules on copyright infringement (which is actually unlike most other rules a genuine Serious Business thing because nobody wants to see Dave Liep sued no matter how unlikely)
3. Sweet Jesus man, your signature breaks virtually every rule of decency/sanity; the only thing that could possibly make it worse would be the inclusion of an epilepsy-inducing GIF or something.

I have to admit though, I did get a good chuckle from the Clarence Thomas part.

Knew it was fake, but still hoped

1. Or it could be that Andy Borowitz is just a dreadful satirist? Like I said, before posting it, I was making sure it wasn't a joke by looking at some of the FB comments being made about it since the page that posted it said nothing when it posted the article.

2. I'll admit fault on that. I was just to ecstatic about the possibility of Scalia being gone.

3. Decency? Coming from the person who has a picture of the man who raped a bunch of women, cheated on Hillary, lied about it in front of the press, and then nearly became the first man to be thrown out of office by the Senate. Rainbow Dash at least has a lot of positive significance. She's so loved by all of us bronies because we love her great sense of humor and plus we like to consider her the lesbian Pegasus on the show such as when she asked Fluttershy in a joyful tone "You're gay?" and they were about to kiss. Not to mention the obvious giveaway that her hair is the LGBT colors. So in a way, it's more of a strong movement & message we get from My Little Pony & Rainbow Dash of being friendly to everyone which includes the LGBT community.

[Paul Kemp]

Oh my god I didn't even notice that the OP thought the article was serious.

...and that signature is indeed an atrocity.

Hopefully the original poster resigns from the forum.

[You kip if you want to...]

Wow. What a let down of a thread this was.

Confirmed for troll.

Bronies creep me out.

[minionofmidas]

Embarassing as it may be, bronies are our nearest relatives.

I like him.

Seriously?

It has a better interpretation then how it might look.

It references my top 3 favorite politicians in it: Obama, Biden, & Mayor Bloomberg plus the "bi" part of it doesn't only reference the VP, but it also makes reference to me being bisexual.

But I'd love to hear how you got the name "homelycooking."
