Scalia said his personal views on social issues have no bearing on his courtroom decisions.
"I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged," Scalia said.
Harvard Crimson article"I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged," Scalia said.
Yes, that is Antonin Scalia.
And while that's the shocker, he also said this:
The Supreme Court's recent decisions protecting abortion rights, upholding the legalization of assisted suicide and striking down anti-sodomy laws represent a "dangerous" trend, Justice Antonin Scalia told a Harvard audience last night.
...He said the Florida Supreme Court's decision to order a recount in Miami-Dade County - a decision Scalia and his colleagues overruled ”amounted to a - clear violation of the federal constitution."
And while conservative justices have been criticized for effectively deciding the 2000 election themselves, Scalia quipped: "Would you rather have the president of the United States decided by the Supreme Court of Florida?"

Because the Florida Supreme Court ordered the votes recounted? How is that deciding the election? If this is the kind of reasoning Antonin Scalia has been using all his career, we need to get a little more rigorous on bar examinations.
Now about those sex orgies....
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
