Scalia's dissent "dripping with contempt and sarcasm"

[Democracyinkind]

1. This man is stupid.

I am not saying this as a partisan. But the more I read from him the more I get the impression that he is an anti-intellectual, under-educated blow-hard.

"All that, simply for supporting an Act that did no more than codify an aspect of marriage that had been unquestioned in our society for most of its existence—indeed, had been unquestioned in virtually all societies for virtually all of human history."

How narrow a view must you have to be able to spout such nonsense? This might have passed as an argument in 1901 when "history" still meant "what white males did". It doesn't hold up in any other context.

Homoerotics, Bisexuality and Homosexuality are a great and important part of all history. From the Hoplites of ancient Greece to the modern Navy. We wouldn't be what we are, and where we are, without it. For god's sake, there was a time in western history where many people believed that all true love was homosexual, and the rest was just a sideshow to procreate.
