Antonin Scalia Dissent In Marriage Equality Case Is Even More Unhinged Than You'd Think
Switched over to Fox News this morning, you know, for shits and giggles and they could't stop talking about Scalia's Dissent. However, every time they quoted it, there was no mention of law or precedent or any type of logical argument in the form of a traditional dissenting opinion, just personal attacks and mindless rambling.
Very shameful to see a long-time justice on this nations highest court act this way.
At least he admitted that the case was very personal to him, alluding to his traditional Catholic beliefs. Unfortunately, the SCOTUS functions as a secular body, reason and logic trump Jewish fairy tales and a collection of letters written by the followers of Christ. (the bible)
Does he ever make an argument against the majority opinion or does he just attack his colleagues like child?
I believe the Scalia and Thomas are well beyond their prime. Scalia may be in early stages of dementia.
It's interesting to note how the much older Ginsberg is still more articulate than ever.

"The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic," he writes. "If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: 'The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,' I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie."
