And I agree with Justice Scalia. But it is a dissent. Romer did not overrule Bowers, de facto or otherwise. Sodomy laws still existed and were enforced as much as ever (i.e. hardly ever). Did it help to set the table for Lawrence? I guess so. Is that Roberts' fault or does he deserve blame? No. Does it give any indication about his judicial philolophy? No.

Divide and conquer.

Your argument is like saying that Griswold was irrelevant to Roe because because after Griswold abortion was still legal. Romer laid the intellectual foundation for Lawrence just as Lawrence laid the foundation for Goodkind.

He worked for FREE for gay activists, helping them overturn a perfectly Constitutional law that Justices Scalia, Thomas and Rehnquist voted to uphold.
