      <![CDATA[I would really like someone to point out Scalia's comment to the idiot lawyer in Santa Ana who's making a federal case.  If the federal courts rule against us, we are far more fucked than if a state does.  Ruins things for everyone.  <br />
<br />
That lawyer is proof the California Bar Exam isn't tough enough.

      <![CDATA[i know it's early dan, but for an editor your post has a lot of typos.<br />
<br />
i've never been able to fathom the mind of a bigot. it seems to me that once you start talking about homosexuality as a nation wide concept all premises on which homosexuality can be reasonable discriminated against are defused. scalia, simply by recognizing ay soldiers, is debasing his entire view point. although, he does equate homosexuality with abortion.

      <![CDATA[The government could also "disfavor" left-handed Americans, the disabled, those with red hair, people with speech impediments, bi-racial children, blacks, asians, the Irish, Jews, Poles, Italians, Native Americans, and women. Our country seems to have this unending love affair with discrimination. Since they gays are kind of the last group left to outright oppress, the Scalias of this country won't let this one go easily.

      <![CDATA[I really liked some of the other hypotheticals:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Can the government accept a statement for display in a playground, Justice Stephen G. Breyer asked, that says “don’t throw food at your brother” but not one that says “pull the dog’s tail”? <br />
<br />
And what was the church’s position, Justice Antonin Scalia wanted to know, about “a monument to chocolate chip cookies”?</blockquote><br />
<br />
I bet Cookie W. Monster is in favor of a monument to cookies.  I know I am.

      <![CDATA[There was no link to the article, so I read what I could find from googling it. The whole thing is pretty ridiculous... all the justices were going off on random tangents. I don't think they really knew what to do, but I liked Ginsburg's statement that if the government lets anyone put huge monuments in public parks as freedom of speech, then parks are going to become overflowing with monuments devoted to every obscure thing imaginable.
