Those were actually the words of Clarence Thomas in his concurrence with Scalia's dissent.

Thomas was quoting Justice Black from the Griswold v. Connecticut case.

And Justice Black was also in dissent. Way back then, he saw the distinction between a law being bad and its being unconstitutional.

Did Black hold that laws could be ruled unconstitutional because they're "uncommonly silly?" Thomas clearly didn't.
