High Court's Colorful Dissenter Predicts Ruling Will Lead To Gay Marriage Laws

Associated Press ^ | 06-26-03

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Scalia is right. This case was brought to further the gay agenda.

Wait...watch.

[txzman]

Final nails in the destruction of this country. Sodom here we come.

[ModernDayCato]

Oh please. This country has been DONE as a federal republic for 50 years.

No bias in this article, though:

The court majority, led by moderate conservative Justice Anthony M. Kennedy [ROTF]

Contrast that with the staunch conservatives like Scalia and Thomas.

Bttt

[rwfromkansas]

And since there are no retirements announced, we are stuck with the same court for next year and the year after.

Damn.

I want those liberals to either croak (can't someone just die already?????) or retire.

[proud American in Canada]

"Texas legislators were within their rights to pass a sodomy ban, Scalia wrote for himself, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and Justice Clarence Thomas. "

Of course they were.

Bump for Scalia, Thomas and Rehnquist!

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

I object to the very terms "liberal" and "conservative" as applied to the judiciary.

I honestly don't care what a judge's political preferences are--I would support a judge who is rabidly pro-legal-abortion, so long as he understands that it is a policy question for legislatures, not a legal question for the courts.

[EternalVigilance]

I would love to read Scalia's entire dissent, if anyone has it...

The Left, with their twisted worldview, is still firmly in control of most of our institutions, as this particular case illustrates so vividly once again.

Thank God for Scalia, Thomas and Renhquist...but we need a whole bunch more like em.

Of course, that won't happen until we force more true conservatives into the Senate.

It might also not happen if the RINOs end up calling the shots on filling vacancies, as they have on a number of other important matters.

We conservatives have sacrificed much for the GOP in the last decade. The number one prize for that labor is a conservative SC. It is worth expending every bit of our political capital to gain.

Too many forget that most of the Justices seated now were put there by Republicans.

Enough is more than enough. The blood of 40 million innocent unborn Americans cries out from the ground.

And since there are no retirements announced

maybe tomorrow

[HostileTerritory]

I don't think it's any secret that the gay agenda includes fighting laws that make one's sex life illegal.

[Brian S]

And since there are no retirements announced, we are stuck with the same court for next year and the year after.

Unless a health problem or death, we won't see a new appointment until 2005.

[ModernDayCato]

I would support a judge who is rabidly pro-legal-abortion, so long as he understands that it is a policy question for legislatures, not a legal question for the courts.

You would certainly not find many states rights or constitutional liberals these days, so I think you ARE kinda advocating a certain kind of judiciary.

In other words, if you were looking for the rule of law or rule of the constitution you used to be able to look in the direction of our party. I'm sad to say that that is no longer true.

[caisson71]

What, pray tell, is a moderate conservative and what defines Kennedy, in this case, as a moderate conservative? There are few Supreme cout decisions more radical than this.

[_Jim]

The court majority "coos, casting aside all pretense of neutrality," in describing the importance of sex in an intimate relationship, Scalia said.

Yeah, like in open, rampant bathhouse s*x -

- c'mon justices ... you can do better than this!

[Uncle Miltie]

Scalea should resign rather than provide color commentary for our new Ceasars.

[ModernDayCato]

Yep - I certainly wouldn't put the word Conservative within three miles of Kennedy in any context other than not a.

[dennisw]

Reagan appointed Scalia. Correct? Old school all the way!

Correct. Until after the next election. GW will win and the fun begins. Many Justices are getting too decrepit to serve such as Ginsgrub and (unfortunately) Rhenquist
