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

The law banning homosexual sodomy was "silly." Clarence Thomas said so.

Be careful about "stare decisis." If you stand on that principle, Roe v. Wade is here to stay.

Well, you're certainly a better legal scholar than Scalia.

Frankly, he covered all the bases--and showed quite clearly that "stare" is only enforced when it is politically desirable--as in Roe.

But not against the queers.

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