Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia revealed a “partisan” view of Obamacare created by deceptive Republicans that undermines his ability to rule on the law, Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., argued in a phone interview yesterday.

“The real point here is that Justice Scalia can laugh all he wants, but the laugh is on him if he thinks that’s in the legislation,” Nelson told The Washington Examiner. He was referring to Scalia’s use of the term “cornhusker kickback” to refer to a provision in Obamacare during oral arguments on the law’s constitutionality.
