"Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia railed against the era of the "judge-moralist," saying judges are no better qualified than "Joe Sixpack" to decide moral questions such as abortion and gay marriage." Well, this certainly explains his decisions on marijuana legalization and euthanasia in Gonzales v. Reich and Gonzales v. Oregon. He simply wasn't moralizing at all in EITHER of those cases, now, was he? It must have all simply been about what the law said, not what exceptions he preferred be sliced out of his otherwise Consitutionalist philosophy.

Scalia says one thing in a speech and rules the opposite on the bench. As Justice Thomas pointed out the majority of the court was wrong on Reich and Gonzales.
