Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter was melodramatic.

Justice Frankfurter was mad as a hornet in 1946, when he wrote a Supreme Court opinion saying that a fraud had been practiced on the Court and "the very temple of justice had been defiled."

I haven't read all the details yet, and I can't promise that when I do, I'll read it very thoroughly. But dancing in my head are visions of lawyers armed with water balloons, spray paint, and full bladders in the chambers of the US Supreme Court. Anything short of that just makes him seem overly theatrical.
