Delaying Gay Pride day at Fort Bragg is another minor reason. We’ll see what happens with cutting spending. NEA, CPB, LSA, NEH...all good candidates to get axed. He needs the power to impound funds!

He also rejected the idea that the Supreme Court is bound by precedent -- such as in the Dred Scott or Roe v. Wade cases.

Scalia is so freaking cool!

"It STILL isn't in the constitution."

In which case it's an issue for the States and the Federal Defense of Marriage is unconstitutional. The question is, would a gay marriage in one state (where it is legal) have to be recognized in another State under the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution and to what extent can congress regulate the same pursuant thereto.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia spoke to students at the University of Central Missouri on Tuesday night and told them that abortion isn't found in the Constitution.

Left unsaid is that guns ARE in the Constitution.

Bump for the March 18 oral arguments in Heller.

Good post. I disagree with Scalia here as well.

It would be better for the govt. to get out of the marriage business altogether --- end civil marriage --- than to grant them the power to redefine marriage to encompass any perverted permutation or combination they fancy.

Left unsaid is that guns ARE in the Constitution.

That may be, but a home-designed, home-machined, home-built machine gun owned by an individual "affects interstate commerce" according to Justice Scalia and the lefty wing of the Supreme Court, and is therefore a federal matter.

Original decision in the Stewart case

Supreme Court orders that Stewart be decided in light of the SCOTUS ruling in Raich, with which Scalia concurred.

Revised decision in the Stewart case after it was decided in light of the Raich decision.

Isn’t it amazing that the “right to privacy” can be found in the “emanations of the penumbra” (ie, hallucination),

yet the IRS can crawl up your ass with a microscope to demand that you disclose every penny of your income and justify every deduction?

I agree. I don’t think we are served very well by letting gubberment define marriage. Eventually it will mess it up.
