Scalia's dissent is not legal reasoning; it's political posturing.

I agree, and I was surprised to hear a Supreme Court Justice come out with something like that.

Either you didn't read it or you were in the car with the ignition on and the garage door closed when you read it.

The majority decision stated that because in their not so humble opinion that the times were a changing, they had the right to abridge the tenth amendment. The cloaked it in mysterious "due process" and "liberty" but in essence what they sais was:

We don't need no stinking legislators, legislatures or states. We will put our finger to the wind and decide what is best for all concerned.

To agree with this decision is far out whether you're left or right or middle of the road.

Judicial Activism at it's worst.
