SCOTUSblog trolls the Internet trolls

Angry conservatives tweeted insults at its Twitter account, thinking it was managed by the Supreme Court

Some conservatives are misplacing their anger at the Supreme Court's ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied benefits to legally married same-sex couples, is unconstitutional.

The Twitter account for SCOTUSblog, a site run by a group of law professors and lawyers and sponsored by Bloomberg Law, has been taking some of the heat and having fun with it:

[embedtweet id="350062911777013760"]

[embedtweet id="350250286503313408"]

The Supreme Court doesn't have an official presence on Twitter, but perhaps those angry at SCOTUS can commiserate with parody Antonin Scalia.
