BARNEY FRANK: Justice Scalia Is a Homophobe

| Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)

Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people won two victories in the Supreme Court today. We expected the big one: the fourth in a series of opinions by Justice Anthony Kennedy—one of the last sitting Reagan appointees—vindicating our right to legal equality. The unexpected one was smaller in public impact but also significant: Justice Antonin Scalia’s disclaimer that he is not personally troubled by the fact that we can marry each other. After a series of opinions, speeches and public comments expressing his strong disapproval of us, vigorously defending society’s right to express this attitude in discriminatory public policies, Scalia begins his characteristically vitriolic dissent by protesting that “the substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal importance to me.”
Yeah, right. This strikes me as the least sincere disavowal of homophobia I have encountered since former Majority Leader Dick Armey tried to argue that his reference to me as “Barney Fag” was just a mispronunciation of my last name. What we have here instead marks a tactical shift....

Imagine...
For Charity a debate: Scalia v Frank similar to Buckley v Vidal.
My guess is Justice Scalia would be kind, gracious, factual and frankly loving in the Christian sense. My guess is their are gays that he is friends with as well, after all he probably lives a balance and full life with interactions that are personally diverse.
Does anyone care to guess how Messr Frank would carry himself and behave in said debate?
That is if Messr Frank had the courage to accept....

And never will be, nor will anyone put blame on him where it correctly belongs. It was all Bush’s fault, don’t you know.
