Scalia dissented from the court's ruling in 2003 that struck down state laws banning consensual sodomy. He has complained about judges, rather than elected officials, deciding questions of morality about which the Constitution is silent.
Total BS. In the case in question, the police broke into someone's house on a pretext and arrested a gay couple engaged in private consensual relations, as a result of which they were to be considered sex offenders. To argue that this is constitutional, you have really engage in some very cynical mental gymnastics, at which Scalia has shown himself to be very adept. There is no way that you will go to such lengths to invent an intellectual veneer for an ultimately bogus argument without being severly prejudiced against gays. Also, if, as he says, the constitution is silent about questions of morality, then elected officials do
not have an inherent constitutional right to impose morality on the populace, and it is the duty of the courts to ensure that they don't. Even if you buy his excuse, he had no problem with deciding other questions on which the constitution is silent, such as Bush Vs. Gore.
I'm so tired of homophobes hiding behind all kinds of pretexts and excuses. We all know what you really are, so at least don't make it worse by being dishonest.
