How did Justice Scalia ever get appointed to the Supreme Court when he obviously does NOT even understand the Constitution he swore to uphold?
Listen to the following oral arguments where Scalia states:
Supreme Court Marriage Equality Oral Arguments
Starting at about 22:20 into the audio, Scalia claims that if a Constitutional right to marry is determined in this case that clergy could not refuse to marry a same sex couple.
Just how did Scalia ever get appointed to the SC?!?
Clergy has always been allowed to refuse to marry any couple if it violates their religious beliefs! I can't believe this moron is so ignorant that he would echo this RW lie!
To this day clergy can refuse to marry interracial couples, or refuse to marry a couple in which one or both were divorced, etc.!
What an idiot!!
EDIT: My emotions over Scalia's bigotry got the better of me when I first published this diary.
So please allow me to clarify that when I call Scalia an idiot what I really mean is that he acts like an idiot when it comes to targets of his bigotry, such as LGBT people.
I know Scalia knows the Constitution and is intelligent but he is a flat out bigot and that always influences his rulings and as a result his votes are often contrary to what he knows is the correct ruling based on the Constitution. I guess I am just sick & tired of being on the receiving end of his hate and bigotry!
