From Politico:
Sen. Scott Brown thinks Vice President Joe Biden was "off base" when he suggested Sunday that the Massachusetts Republican get his facts straight on the legal procedures for military tribunals.
"It was insulting," said Brown, who frequently jabbed the administration during his Senate campaign for giving suspected terrorists legal representation.
On CBS's "Face the Nation" last weekend, Biden shot back that he doesn’t "know whether the new senator from Massachusetts understands: When you get tried in a military tribunal, you get a lawyer, too."
"He's trying to give me a lesson on military law, and I didn't think it was appropriate," Brown told POLITICO. "And I thought he was off base when it comes to explaining to the American people that somehow I need a lesson on whether people get attorneys — of course they get attorneys. There's a difference as to what type of attorney they’re going to get and when they're going to get that attorney, and how are they treated, and what rights do they, in fact, get."
I guess President Obama was wrong when he said, "Nobody messes with Joe."
