Interesting that you pluck Thomas' words from the larger context of Scalia's dissenting opinion. I knew someone would, though for completeness I posted Thomas' remarks anyhow.

You probably saw Thomas' line already posted here today, and since it bolsters your own well known opinion, you pointed it out.

Thats OK, but did you bother to read Scalia's opinion here? How about highlighting something important.

I did.

OK.

Social perceptions of sexual and other morality change over time, and every group has the right to persuade its fellow citizens that its view of such matters is the best. That homosexuals have achieved some success in that enterprise is attested to by the fact that Texas is one of the few remaining States that crimi-nalize private, consensual homosexual acts.

What I don't understand is why a deacon of the Catholic Church is so publicly supportive of taking laws forbidding sodomy off the books--particularly considering the recent scandals in the Church. Looks very bad.
