Thanks your post,

It

1) Got me p*ss#d off.

2) Inspired me to e-mail the editor of my local paper, The Cincinnati Enquirer the following.

"I was disappointed to see Justice Scalia's opinion poorly excerpted in an AP Wire story concerning the Texas sodomy law case that ran on your Website June 26, 2003. There is a significant difference between the excerpt that ran in the story, Justice Scalia saying he has "nothing against homosexuals.", and the actual decision. Justice Scalia wrote: "Let me be clear that I have nothing against homosexuals, or any other group, promoting their agenda through normal democratic means."

Given the current attempts by a variety of interest groups to use political pressure to influence appointments to the judiciary, I feel that is very important that the decisions made by our highest court are reported in their full complexity. Your article created the impression that Justice Scalia was implying something unintended by his decision.

At least, please remove the period from the quotation appearing in this article."

3) Quit lurking and register on Free Republic.

You seem to have real insight on the media's impact on the American Political System.

I think you live near me. We should meet up sometime.
