Thank God for Justice Scalia. If Bush decides to play ethnic politics and appoints a liberal like Alberto Gonzales, he will have lost my vote and the votes of millions of others.

Printing this out for a later read, thanks for the post, I am a Scalia groupie!

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for posting!

Really want more Republican Senators in 2004 so we can make Justice Scalia the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. That is one nomination that the Republicans in the Senate need to go to the matresses over.

We need to get rid of the activist Justices!

Oh my God, this guy's a genius...

Wasn't that tiff we had in 1861 about state's rights? Sounds like another one bit the dust!

[SpinyNorman]

Good for Scalia! This decision opens the door for pedophiles, beast lovers and other deviants that can now consider this precedent for their "private behaviors."

Is it just me, or do the hoards of liberals praising this decision ever consider that it is the very same court that they criticized for the 2000 election, and this decision is by the very margins that they decry in that same election? Does this mean that they must now accept President Bush as the legitimate winner of the 2000 election? They must, in order to embrace this decision. Somehow, I think liberal hypocrisy will rule the day.

just FYI: Does anyone know what property is? Property can be the property of ones person, the property of ones opinion and thoughts, the property of ones rights, and so on. Property does not just mean "thing".

BTW Pursuit of happiness could easily have been written as Pursuit of property. In law school the vulgar varient was life, liberty, and the pursuit of shopping.

He's almost as good as Walter Willians, but I could do without the latin. Talking about pandering to the legal culture.

I'm convince that the Supreme Court has lost its moral authority to interpret the Constitution of the United States, not just from this decision, but from many recently where it seems the justices decide what answer they wish to give then look to the law and the Constitution only as justification for the already-decided opinion, rather than what justices *should* do which is to look first at the Constitution and the law and see what it directs.

IOW, the Court appears to be ack-bassword in the decision-making process and it explains why so many of their decisions appear to be political compromises rather than judicial interpretation.

It's truly a shame that the Court seems to embrace the "living Constitution" concept liberals have championed whether they care to admit it or not.

[SevenDaysInMay]

SCOTUS rulings are so far beyond our Constitution limits on federal power that 5 justices are no longer in "good behavior". These rulings are just that because our representative republic would never expand federal powers like a cancer, colon cancer.

Congress must reign in the jurisdiction of SCOTUS to only matters of Constitutional law within the limits of our Constitution.

Our Constitution means what it says, not what some blackrobes purport society should be.

[disenfranchised]

I've been what you call a "lurker" for a long time. But today I'm angry. VERY ANGRY! So I signed up so I can vent.

In it's decision today, the supreme court has, emphatically and unequivocally, said that the the moral perspective of bible-believing Christians is illegitimate for the making of law in the United States. In other words, MY VOTE DOESN'T COUNT!!!

I've been disenfranchised!

Abortion on demand and sodomy is OK.

Things sure have changed since I grew up in the 1950s.

State laws against bigamy,same-sex marriage,adult incest,prostitution,masturbation,adultery,fornication, bestiality,and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers ’ validation of laws based on moral choices.. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today ’s decision;the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding.
No more watching COPS on Saturday night when they sting prostitutes, or drug deals. Claim "consenting adults" and maybe you can get away with any crime!! Imagine 2 guys masturbating each other outside the school! They are in their car & are consenting adults. You can't touch this. Don't call the police.

[steplock]

To ALL of you who are pontificating that the state has NO RIGHT to control DEVIANT behavior....

Remember this: What is the MAIN means of AIDS transfer in the Western World? Homosexuality.

If anyone in this country had any guts back even before Reagan (including Reagan) the AIDS epidemic could have been halted in its tracks in the Western World (RACIST!!)

It could have been halted in Africa also by the same means. But there is someone (plural) who does NOT wish to see AIDS halted.

AIDS/SARS/etc. etc being the antibiotic resistant pneumonias and other virus that are prolific in the HOMOSEXUAL communities and parts of Africa and the Caribe.

This SC decision is onl the start of the deviancy epidemic that WILL include pedophilia, bestiality, and the rest of the ANTI-HUMAN practices of the (The only word that describes it accurately) EVIL!

[St.Chuck]

The Republicans control every branch of the government, yet we are seeing support of affirmative action, campaign finance reform, prescription drug benefits, nation building abroad, and now, the sanction of sexual deviancy. Think how much worse it would be if the Dems were in power.

[CaptIsaacDavis]

THEY HAVE DECLARED WAR ON US! The Supreme Court has declared war on the people of the United States and their governments (state and federal). The 6 justices supporting the decision have committed a criminal act by violating their constitutional oaths of office in order to engage in a conspiracy to subvert the constitutional order (see the Federal codes for "subversion"). Their reasoning rests on the self-asserted power, unfounded in any prior decision (actually in clear violation of every relevant decision ever made over the history of the USSC's operation), law (passed by Congress or power delegated by the states), or the US constitution (as in "social contract" with the people from whom the power to govern is presumably derived from), to DECREE from the bench that "liberty" and the inalienable right to self-determination and self-government are now superceded by the will of a tyrannical clique in black robes issuing a DIKTAT for unencumbered -- anarchic -- pseudo-liberty in the bedroom. The majority was right on one thing -- morality will be absent in the bedrooms of America -- by decree. By so decreeing they are also asserting, as a matter of policy and law, that the current majority on the USSC is operating WITHOUT MORALITY and without any respect for the rights of the people to govern themselves. If the people have no right to govern themselves on such issues, then the entire scheme of federal law collapses, because the Constitution (the social contract with the American people) is nullified. They have just decreed that they are, in fact, as a matter of constitutional law, lawless!

IT IS TIME CONGRESS STOPPED FUNDING THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY -- REMEMBER, ALL OF THE FEDERAL COURTS, OTHER THAN THE SUPREMES, EXIST AT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND CONGRESS. IT IS ONLY IN THAT FASHION THAT THE REVOLUTIONARY COUP D'ETAT THAT THE LIBERAL FACTION ON THE COURT SEEKS TO IMPOSE ON THE CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE EFFECTIVELY CHECKED. RESIGNATIONS OF THOSE BEHIND THE DECISION SHOULD BE DEMANDED BY THE PRESIDENT!
