I wonder if Scalia chose these words--hostes humani generis--intentionally. Early Christians were labeled "enemies of the human race" by the Roman empire, and persecuted them as such. Perhaps this signals that Washington is now officially seeking to persecute Christians as Rome did to the early church.

I expect he did. It was a brilliant masterstroke to refer back to Roman times and the oppression of Christians.

It gives good context.
