From what I know of Ruth Ginsburg, she probably recoiled in distaste from that display by the President and his Senatorial sycophants, and my guess is that Breyer and Kennedy did, too. Obama did himself no favors with the Justices by behaving that way toward them in public.

I didn't see Obama say anything about what the case was about. He did allude to the legal history of the issue and about some of the likely ramifications of the Supreme Court's decision.
I thought Obama's behavior was appropriate. I would like it if he called more folks out to their faces on national television. I would expect that anyone who could make it onto the Supreme Court could handle a bit of public criticism.
