The fact is that this could so easily backfire on his cause.  I would laugh if Scalia and co. ended up being kicked out.

Of course, I don't like this at all regardless.  Judges are insulated from public pressure for a reason.  Yes, sometimes rulings will run counter public opinion, but public opinion isn't always right.  The court's insulation from public opinion helps stop a 'tyranny of the majority' situation from occurring.
