Judge Richard Posner Trolls Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s Obsession with Gay Marriage

Judge Richard Posner, of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, rose to the rank of demigod in many gay circles after his evisceration of arguments in favor of same-sex marriage bans in August of last year. A Reagan appointee, Posner has a reputation for being something of a wild card, and no one could have predicted how brilliantly he would slay the anti-gay bigots that stepped into his court over a year ago.
Now, in an op-ed published yesterday in The New York Times, Posner, along with law professor Eric Segal, is getting back into the conversation about gay marriage, taking a fellow Reagan appointee to task for his batsh*t crazy views on the subject.
The jurist we’re talking about is, of course, Supreme Court Justice Antonin ‘Get Off My Lawn’ Scalia. Posner and Segal underscore just how obsessed Scalia has become with gay marriage and how his defeat in Obergefell has spurred him towards a “political ideal” that “verges on majoritarian theocracy.”...
In the op-ed, Posner and Segal also make mention of Scalia’s recent comments comparing homosexuals to child molesters because both are sexual minorities. Scalia called child molesters a “deserving minority”, adding that “nobody loves them.”
