Oh. My. God. AGAIN! Is there ANY legal precedent anywhere in this screed of a dissent to back up his reasoning, or is it all bile and bluster like yesterday’s dissent? I can’t bear to read it for myself.

Rehnquist beat him to it more than 30 years ago, when he wrote in a dissent that it was (I might have gotten the wording a bit wrong) “dangerous for so much power to be vested in nine lawyers with virtual life tenure”. (and he knew whereof he spoke)
bloviating about the excessive power of the court is apparently the last refuge of a particular kind of scoundrel.

Perhaps a member of the LBGT community? I’m sure he would have had an ally there right?

Actually, Scalia seems to insinuate that the Supreme Court should somehow have a religious basis, is that really constitutitional ?

Kennedy and rest of majority in an addendum to Scalia: “Dear Dicknose, Catholic, Harvard-educated, propagator of right-wing nut job dogma on 325,000,000 Americans: eat shit and bark at the moon.”

Seriously. Not sure but I think the other Justices had read Scalia’s dissent before it became public. I would think that the Chief Justice would’ve asked him to tone it down and remove some of the ad homs. This will give the opponents of gay marriage fire for years.
An ad hominem screed worthy of an Internet troll.

Tony is not afraid to be an asshole. He gets credit for that.
Note to Tony: The ship has sailed, there is no time to debate whether something as mundane as sanctioning of same sex relationships is causing all your problems when Exxon, Shell and BP are plotting at this very moment to do you in for profit. Get the drift? Get some priorities man. Get out of the blame game. Get to work on some real problems, K? Get that you are not G-d. Holy Shit!

If you don’t like the membership of the court, resign. Today. That would change the membership of the court. Today.

Aren’t they almost all Catholics? I’m not sure the Church is a big proponent of gay marry either.

Trouble is, the kind of Protestant he wants is a hard core fundamentalist. And in spite of how the RW spins it, Liberty U isn’t spitting out the best and the brightest lawyers.
