So we had a Q & A with Scalia today, and someone asked the Justice whether he sodomizes his wife. Very classy.

I agree completely. All I meant is that it takes "something" to be able to ask what is an inappropriate means of getting at privacy/liberty interests to a justice, knowing full well that you'll face incredible social opprobrium as a result. Sorry if the blasé "cojones" put you off... maybe I should have said it takes a complete moron?
anyway, what was the fallout?

The language he used reeked of homophobia. The opinion contained BOTH a critique of the majority's placing a restriction on the legislature that he viewed as untextual AND scathing insults about the motivation underlying that action.
If Scalia believed that sodomy laws and bans on gay marriage are horrifying examples of state-sponsored discimination -- but Constitutional -- he would have voted the same way, but it would have been a very different opinion. I'm sorry, you just don't refer to the "homosexual agenda" and recite the litany of horrors it's trying to visit on the nation if you believe that gay relationships are valuable and deserve respect.

there is a lot of gray area between believing sodomy laws are a horrifying example of discrimination, and being a horrible homophobic bigot.
He tried to explain his comment today by saying that he believed the court should not be caught up in the homosexual rights movement when dealing with an issue that is not protected by the constitution (in his view) and is still a matter of great conflict in this country and its legislators.

He stated clearly today that he would support gay rights protections passed by the legislature.

Date: April 13th, 2005 11:07 AM Author: ungodly razzmatazz business firm Subject: here's the problem...
Scalia and his supporters always defend his holdings (or dissents) that attack reading unenumerated rights into the Constitution. The problem is that Scalia is a textualist (or originalist, whatever terminology you want to use) in a society that is constantly changing and demanding of laws that can evolve as well. Frankly, I thnk he's a bit lazy in this regard.
So, yes, he argues that he's all for gay rights, but that since the Constitution does not say that the fed.gov. can regulate such rights, such decisions must be left to the states. But since the evolution of 14th Amendment jurisprudence, in which the court recognized that several states will discriminate...uh...indiscriminately, we can't simply fall back on what is or is not in the clear text of the Constitution. The textualist ship, as it were, has sailed.
The term "liberty," and the underlying concept of "privacy," necessarily need to be malleable. He doesn't believe this to be the case, which I really believe is a proxy for his anti-gay stance. It's a way for him to espouse conservative, religious views against homosexuality without taking too much heat.
He should not have been asked whether or not he sodomizes his wife. Rather, he should have been asked how he'd feel about Lawrence if one of his kids was gay.

What difference does it make what his personal opinion is? His dissent tore the majority opinion apart. You can criticize him as a person for his personal beliefs, but as a judge, he did a far better job with that case than any of the judges who sided with the majority. People need to separate the LAW and PERSONAL OPINION.
As far as the homosexual agenda issue, i believe that his point is that the minority cannot use the judiciary to legislate. If the minority doesn't like the fact that they have been singled out, well, too bad.

He could have said nothing negative about gays or the agenda, etc, and you would still be here bashing him as a judge. Who cares about the reasoning, the outcome wasnt what i wanted!!!!
This type of thinking is identical to the way conservatives have taken to bashing the judiciary over the Schavio case.

A. Because I believe that homophobes are the moral equivalent of racists, and I care that someone in a great position of power over me has morals I don't respect.
B. Because I doubly care about that when the someone in power is the darling of the supposed moralists in the country.
C. Because I don't buy this bullshit about how textualists ignore results for a second, and I'm waiting for him and his acolytes to come to a "textualist" position opposed to what I perceive to be his political position.

B. No, the problem here is not my disagreement with said "moralists," it's their hypocrisy.
C. I don't think he really cares about flag burning on any deep level, because it isn't against his religion. He cares about abortion and homosexuality.

I don't think that he believes that laws against flag burning are a good idea. I do think he believes laws against abortion and gay rights are a good idea.
A position against flag-burning laws is not the same as support for flag-burners.

He explicitly said that he doesn't care if gays want to pursue their rights through political avenues, yet you're willfully misinterpreting his statements about the homosexual agenda.
You use the term "homosexual agenda" as if there isn't one. There is, and that's fine. And, it's mainly being pursued through the courts, which isn't fine if you have Scalia's construction of the Cons't.

It's a term used _exclusively_ in a negative -- usually contemptuous -- light, by people who are opposed to gay rights.
It's kind of like calling pro-choice people "pro-abortion." Everybody knows exactly what you mean, and where you stand on the issue, when you use that term.
Surely you aren't suggesting that Scalia is ignorant of the implications of the language he chooses.

You're giving it that connotation b/c you hate the people who even recognize that such a thing exists.
What Scalia said about gay rights is clearly true. The legal community has some evolving standards about what's fair with respect to gays and those views aren't held by the American people.

OK, I'll broaden the challenge. Find its non-ironic use to describe the gay rights movement by anyone friendly to the agy rights movement. Or are you going to argue that people who support gay rights are a tiny subset out of step with America?
Do you agree with me that "pro-abortion" and "anti-choice" are loaded terms, used to signify opposition to the movement being described?

You are of course entitled to disagree with forty years of Supreme Court jurisprudence, but your making this kind of pronouncement in the same post where you point out that I'm not being fair to the opposite viewpoint is pretty ironic. Especially since in this case, the opposite viewpoint is the law of the land.

I think its more about 30 years. but fair enough, there certainly is precedent supporting a right to privacy. an originalist like scalia would say that since the right isn't in the text, it doesn't exist. of course, if we go with an evolving constitution notion of interpretation, it will only exist as long as there are five justices who think it exists. social conservatives will certainly be doing their darnest to make sure there five justices who say it doesn't.

Griswold was 1965, 40 years ago.
hasn't Scalia in the past ruled in favor of some rights not explicit in the constitution? the right to refuse medical treatment (Cruzan) comes to mind.

Fuck yes he does. They all do. Did the Legal Realist revolution miss you?
What you aren't comprehending is that Scalia's "desired result" was not an attack on gays, but a refutation of privacy protection. And in doing so, he ignores the Constitution. Whether Scalia likes it or not, Roe is law.

Saying that not believing in a right to privacy is ignoring the constitution is very tenuous.
maybe its disagreeing with the most recent (and narrowly decided) precedent, but its hardly a well settled fact in our country that there is a constitutional right to privacy. and as an originalist, Scalia is within reason to not find one.
