AMERICAblog’s John Aravosis was one of the first to point it out, in his SOTU live-blogging:
Alito shakes heading, mouthing “not true,” as Obama says recent Supreme Court decision will let lobbyists and corporations own our elections. Highly inappropriate for Alito to do this. You’ll notice the Sup Ct doesn’t even clap when the president enters. They are not supposed to respond to anything, lest it show bias.
John called it “Alito’s ‘You Lie!’ moment.”
There is quite a bit of commentary about it at Memeorandum.
The complete text of the SOTU is here.
I will be doing more SOTU reaction blogging tomorrow when my computer is not taking 10 minutes to execute every command. It actually took me about two hours to write this post, but I was determined to get something up about tonight’s speech before everyone had covered every possible angle.
