Regardless of which side of ANY issue you come down on, our justice system relies on judges (including Supreme Court justices!) to be enter into a case with an open mind.

Scalia sounds like he has made a decision before even hearing arguments. This is equivalent to a jury deciding a defendant is guilty before opening arguments or any evidence is presented. This is not healthy for our justice system or the faith we need to be able to have in it.

“Allow same sex marriage and all it’s legalities can be applied to Bisexuals marrying one of each sex at the same time.”

Who really cares if they did as long as the gov’t only allowed one joint filing of tax returns and one marriage deduction? I mean, if 3 people each mutually want to share rights to do things like visit in the hospital or have a private contract (which is all marraige is) that would give any two of them the right to decide on the third’s health care if hospitalized, then who freekin cares? The only thing you should be worried about is the fairness of the financial end of it.

Conservative (il)logic is just too hard to follow. At any rate this man is far too opinionated to be a judge. Judges should look at laws, not at personal “moral” gut feelings.

There is no indication that he will do so. God willing, he’ll be replaced by the end of our President’s term.

Scalia is entitled to his opinion, but he should not let the personal view cloud his reasoning in a high court ruling.

Scalia’s remarks are prejudicial, and show that he has a mindset unlikely to consider justice for this case. He should recuse himself based on his previous writings alone. This is a LEGAL issue not a personal choice issue.
