Loading ...*Falls Off Chair*
October 4th, 2004 by SteveI came across this the other day and… I meant to post it… but I had to stop laughing… o god *cracks up again* im sorry… sorry. ok. I’m just gonna link, throw a few notable quotes up, then go back to laughing at this poor excuse for a justice. Friends, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
He asked—rhetorically—how many individuals would have to be involved in a sex act for it to no longer qualify as “private.�
“Presumably it is some number between five and the number of people required to fill the Coliseum,� Scalia joked.
Apparently Mr. Scalia fails to understand that the word “private” doesn’t have anything to do with the number of people…
But Scalia said his personal views on social issues have no bearing on his courtroom decisions.
“I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged,� Scalia said.
*sound of jaw hitting floor* then… wha… why…. wtf is wrong with you that you would vote against repealing a law banning sodomy?!?!
“Would you rather have the president of the United States decided by the Supreme Court of Florida?�
I’d rather have it decided by the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES!!!
In one of the more bizarre moments of the evening, Scalia mentioned—in passing—that he thought the 17th Amendment was “a bad idea.�
The 17th Amendment provides for the direct election of senators.
I don’t know how this qualifies as “most bizarre”, but it is certainly disturbing. Got that, everyone? Scalia thinks VOTING for your government is a bad thing!
oy. When will he retire? I’m looking forward to it already.
