Washington, D.C.—Details are emerging about a controversial speech delivered by Justice Antonin Scalia to an anti-gay lobby group while the Supreme Court was deliberating in the Texas sodomy case that calls into question his impartiality on the bench.

The speech was delivered to the Urban Family Council in Philadelphia, a group that while not a party in the sodomy case was fighting that city’s ordinance allowing benefits for the partners of gay and lesbian municipal workers.

Details of the $150 a plate dinner were made public today by the Los Angeles Times.

William Devlin, who founded the council, is lead plaintiff in the Philadelphia lawsuit, which is pending before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Both sides say the case has a good chance of reaching Scalia’s court.

Justice Scalia doesn't want his public speeches recorded.
No wonder he sends in storm troopers to take tapes of his
speeches away from reporters.

7. Isn't this the same justification

those putrid "democrats" in Mass are using to try and remove the judges there? The removal of this extremist and corrupt POS should be a first priority next year, how he was ever confirmed is beyond me.
