As Scalia also pointed out, the court didn't crank the opinions of Africa, the Middle East or Asia into their decision-making.

I guess some people's complaint is that the SC didn't take into equal consideration the norms of countries inclined to bloody coups, corruption, genocide, tribal warfare, dogmatic oppression, and barberous beheadings and amputations as criminal punishment.

Yeah, that's really a shame.

You missed out the best part. Africa and Asia also have the world's fastest growing Christian communities [There are now as many as two hundred million Chinese Christians] and many, including those that comprise the world's largest Anglican/Epicopal province, are severing ties with North American and once-great British "bishops" and are sending missionaries to the uk and to America to turn the Church in both of those places away from deviancy, degeneration and insidious evil and back to Biblical, historical and theological Truth -- and to the Christ.

My guess -- and common sense's -- is that Justice Scalia had those Good folks in mind.
