perfidy

Score one for privacy!! Today, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that essentially overturned all state sodomy laws still on the books. The decision was 6-3, and Scalia, Rehnquist, and Thomas dissented. Scalia took the unusual step of reading his dissent from the bench: 

"The court has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda. . . .The court has taken sides in the culture war," Scalia said, adding that he has "nothing against homosexuals." 

Oh Really, sir? And I bet some of your best friends are homosexuals, too. 

Scalia is this close to being a great justice, and would be but for his willingness to let his own moral codes take precedence over legal questions. 

[moreover] Although I applaud strict constructionism of the Constitution in general, I feel it has limits. Much like few Christians follow every single word of the Bible, Constitutional fundamentalism is an irrational and unsound, though logically safe, philosophy.
