I've addressed Justice Kennedy's majority opinion in Lawrence v. Texas, and now I'm getting around to Scalia's unbelievable, incredibly strident dissent. Here's a tidbit:

State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers' validation of laws based on moral choices. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today's decision; the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding.


I just find it frightening for a United States Supreme Court justice in the 21st century to assert, as I believe Scalia is, that a decision that limits the ability of states to criminalize masturbation is wrongly decided. Remember, Bush said Scalia and Thomas are his ideal justices . . .
