People keep mixing up SCOTUSblog with the Supreme Court on Twitter — to hilarious results

The US Supreme Court is the nation's highest judicial body. SCOTUSblog is a news outlet that covers the Supreme Court.

But sometimes, Twitter users get them mixed up. SCOTUSblog happily plays along with this confusion, leading to a lot of funny exchanges between SCOTUSblog and commenters during today's arguments over the new legal challenge to Obamacare:

Here are the rules: confuse us with SCOTUS, no problem, it happens; confuse us and say something nasty, strap in

As if, genius. MT @FAQSMAN: And now we have a @SCOTUSblog without a spine! Relinquishing your powers, morons?

Cast not the first stone at us MT @DUNBAR83 I’m prayerful @SCOTUSblog will uphold #affordablecareact. Failure to do so is #sinful.

Prepare to be disappointed MT @BamaJDK: @HouseJudiciary Isn’t it sad that we have to hope @SCOTUSblog upholds the US Constitution?

SCOTUSblog, of course, isn't just hilarious on social media. It's also invaluable for keeping up with all the cases the Supreme Court deals with. So make sure to follow them on Twitter.
