The Difference Between “Tough” and “Bully”
Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham tells us what that difference is:
The subject of the Supreme Court nominee’s judicial temperament has so far been raised by just one senator, Lindsay Graham (R-SC).
“There’s a character problem; there’s a temperament problem,” says Graham.
Referring to the comments in the Almanac, Graham went on:
“I just don’t like bully judges,” Graham says. “There are some judges that have an edge, that do not wear the robe well. I don’t like that. From what I can tell of her temperament and demeanor, she seems to be a very nice person. [Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia is no shrinking violet. He’s tough, but there’s a difference between being tough and a bully.”
You connect the dots.

Nooooooo, Scalia IS a bully (IMHO)!! I would go so far as to call him as the classic archetype of a bully judge.
Shorter L. Graham: They aren't bullies if they are only bullying the other side. They are only bullies if they are bullying MY side.
