Justice Kennedy gave me chills (in a good way) with what he wrote

[JonLP24]

“No longer may this liberty be denied,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority in the historic decision. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.”

(and this is what Scalia had to say about what Kennedy wrote)

In a second dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia mocked the soaring language of Justice Kennedy, who has become the nation’s most important judicial champion of gay rights.

“The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic,” Justice Scalia wrote of his colleague’s work. “Of course the opinion’s showy profundities are often profoundly incoherent.”

1. Kennedy's prose soars with the eagles.

Scalia's wallows with the swine.

2. Scalia has forever proven, with his writing, that he doesnt belong on the court

and that he is a little man full of hate.

3. I take it all back. Clarence Thomas is a brilliant man next to Scalia.

It dawned on me, Scalia writes in semi-clever verse and yet has no concept of the meaning. Like a babbling fool, with a thesaurus. I can't believe I actually thought he might have some hidden intelligence.

Nope, just a huge asshole with a large lexicon.

4. good for kennedy in this case, but on most he sides with the right wing imbeciles
