"Justice Antonin Scalia has written that "it is our moral heritage that one should not hate any human being or class of human beings." Judging by the things he has said in court or written in his legal opinions about gays and lesbians, he doesn't really mean it."*
This week, we will hear many arguments on the subject of gay marriage as Prop 8 and DOMA are discussed by the Supreme Court. But...we already know what Justice Scalia thinks, even if his arguments don't really mistake. What are the problems in the homophobic things Scalia's said? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

+rationalguy It can not work the way our legal system is setup assuming on man can marry multiple women or on woman can marry multiple men how are they going to decide in the case of divorce how assets are split if one decides to divorce or multiple partners decide to divorce all the wifes or hubands related or next of kin to each other or just the ones that married the single person that being the man or the woman and the men brother husbands or the sister wifes? who has custody of the children that come from the marriage? are all the people involved parents to the children as in 3 wifes on father, I can go on and on and on about how these marriages can be very complicated and how about same-sex multiple unions where 3 or more men or women can marry now that same sex marriage is legal, wow it would be a nightmare what about when tax time comes along who can claim who geez!

The same claims could've been made about my upbringing. My parents got divorced, and you know what? I had two daddies too: a dad and a step-father and now a step-mother. I had a mother figure, and I had plenty of male influence around me. And while those circumstances led to my trust issues, they also led to an expansion of my immediate family. Would criminalizing divorce be fair? Is a child, a single mom, and then a step-dad and a step-sister not a family? Who's to say what a perfect family is?

i dont agree with the outcome of Scalia's decisions, but this segment ignores the reasons of why Scalia decided the way he did. Justices aren't stupid; they have concrete opinions which flow from rational understanding and principles. Scalia doesn't want judges to prescribe from the bench what laws ought to be constitutional and what laws ought not to be. Scalia does not believe in judicial activism because he believes it to be counter-majoritarian, which goes against the fundamental value of democracy (that the majority rules). Since judges are not elected by the people, but are appointed, Scalia believes that the legislature (those who are elected to represent the people) ought to decide which laws should be passed and which laws should not be. The judge's role is to figure out whether a law is constitutional, not to take sides in culture/moral wars. I'm not saying I agree with Scalia's decision; I just think this segment was not accurate with its interpretation of Scalia's decision.

Obama McCain Maybe you should learn to spell "tolereance" before telling others what it means. (If we see "edited" next your comment, we'll know you corrected it after the fact) There has been name-calling, bashing, rudeness and childish behavior on all sides of any argument since the beginning of time. Theatrically limping away and pouting doesn't help anything, nor does it create the impression you're above it. I don't believe in Santa (yes, I've come out, I'm an asantaclausist). If I say something rude enough to trigger your leave-it-to-beaver-caliber sensitivity, does that lend credence to the existence of Santa Claus? I believe the earth to be spherical (rather, an oblate spheroid, yes I know). Does this very comment of mine cause you to rethink the shape of the earth?

Obama McCain To which missing punctuation are you referring? The lack of a period after the phrase in brackets? (Didn't know that formality was necessary(.) ) By the way, if you're uncomfortable with my punctuation, you might not want to look back at your own comment. Particularly not this gem: "Everyone wants to say, oh its a constitutional right, and yet most states don't recognize it... " By the way, it's "vile", not "vial". Unless if you are actually talking about "vial people". I haven't seen any vial people walking around lately but if I do I'll be sure to let you know. Yep, you got me, I was actually plotting to murder someone with chocolate but you stepped in just in time! Phew! The world is indebted to you for your brave actions. Not to mention, you clearly have the moral high ground here and are definitely not petty or insecure in any way. And above all, you did a great job staying on topic and practicing what you preach -- tolerance. And sorry about calling you all those names such as , , and . Oh you got me on the "barbaric and native" too. How did you know I was so native? Yep, I've been struggling with my nativity for some time now. People are always telling me, "Brainburrito, stop being so native. Brainburrito, your nativity is getting on my nerves" et cetera. I was trying to hide it but you figured it out anyway. That was also very sharp of you to pick up on the connection between making a joke and being in league with North Korean communists. Not many people have been so clever as to figure that out. By the way, you better contact the SSO since I was apparently a practicing NK communist while serving in the American military (Air Force(.) ) Yes I know, it's the most communist and native of US Forces. For which branch of the military did you serve, incidentally? I'm sure whichever branch it was, it was definitely more "tolearant" and less "vial" than the Air Force. You're clearly my intellectual superior. Not only that, but you've got me all figured out already. You don't even know me but you've ascertained that I'm "vial", "intolearant" and native. AND you hit the nail on the head with the North Korean communism! (the most vial and native of communisms(.) ) Nothing is hidden from your penetrating gaze, your sharp wit or your eloquent delivery!

Scalia equates murder and homosexuality. They are quite different: Murder is an action. homosexuality is a thought. Murder is considered wicked because it causes terrible harm to another. Homosexuality is considered wicked because of an ancient Christian superstition that the presence of gay people caused earthquakes. Murder is a voluntary action. Homosexuality is an attribute you are born with, like left-handedness. Any harm from murder hurts the victim. Any harm from homosexuality hurts the "criminal." This all so basic, I can only imagine that Scalia's Christianity has derailed his legal mind on the matter. He wont to impose the Christian superstitious view of homosexuality into secular law.

In other words, using the term politically correct/incorrect is incorrect, as it is no longer efficient with its duty in modern time.

"I'm not confusing anything, read the links" The physical reaction of moving away from something you don't want to engage in is not the same as "ew that's gross". Ex, we have an instinct to move away from a lion, for obvious reasons, we get frightened and adrenaline forces us to leave the situation. It's only afterwards we start to interpret what might have happened and how we will further view lions. Such as hating them or seeing them just as part of nature. Does this ring any bells? lol

There were quite a few groups of people who broke off from the church when polygamy was outlawed. They fled to mexico or hid their way of life. It's a lot more prevalent than you think. The things I said were taken directly from their traditional practices. In fact, if you do a little bit of research into the history of your church, you will find that polygamy was a very brutal practice even for its time.

(1/?) I understand perfectly well how the Constitution works. You are correct that the Constitution creates a federal government of enumerated powers. However, that does not mean that people have all the rights that are not restricted by the Constitution. To give an extreme example, the constitution doesn't say you can't murder or rape, but that doesn't mean that the people have that right to commit those crimes. More fundamentally, only the federal government is one of enumerated powers.

Back in the medieval time there was a law which was dictating the people, married couples, how to have sex. They had to wear some sort of cloth which coverd all their body, except the head and the penis/vagina. The only way they were supposed to lay while having sex was straight face to face (missionary style and i think the man had to be on top, but i can't remeber exactly). Any kind of other position would be a crime (doggie style a crime, it was to similar to animals) And 1000 years later...

The morality of polygamy is irrelevant to this particular discussion. The issue at hand is that we have straight monogamy awarded certain benefits by law which are not applicable to homosexual monogamy and this is a blatant civil rights contravention as persons of equal standing are getting different benefits. This would also be the case if only straight polygamy, with certain benefits under law, was allowed but not homosexual polygamy.

How can you say that having sex with an animal is consensual? They have no way of telling you.

@BurakovAS 11 жыл бұрын

well, does that mean that more than two people can't start a business together? that doesn't seem like it's that complicated, is it? so why not marriage between more than two people?

"a legal opinion of Dred Scott v Sandford stated that blacks were property, it is not the same as condoning slavery" How is that NOT condoning slavery? A slave is, and I quote directly form the New Oxford American Dictionary, "a person who is the legal property of another". Saying that someone can 'own' another person or condoning the buying/selling of a human being against his or her will, is supporting slavery, and it's disgusting.

Who is trying to do that? Churches are a private organization and have the right to their traditions and all marriages are approved by a priest, pastor, etc. for straight marriages as well. no one that I have heard has said we need to force church into marring gay people. but the government should be allowed to discriminate against civil unions based on their own religious dogma.

i have heard some liberal Christians justify gay marriage by pointing out that "as you would lay with a woman" part. they claim that a man laying with a man is not whats bad, but rather laying with a man as you would lay with a woman. which they take as a reference to the historical male-female power dynamic. thats 1 of the problems with the biblical canon. its so fuzzy on details and so easy to interpret in so many different ways, that you take almost anything from it. book o' multiple choice.

People arguing over what is written in the books by unknown authors, supposedly inspired by their all powerful father figure who is mysteriously absent (then again looking at his "creations" maybe he is ashamed and moved onto a new project). Others not understanding why two (or more) consenting parties engaging in a sex act is different then two (or more) parties engaging in non-consensual sex. What a giant cluster-fuck this has turned into.

I just had a crazy realization. In 50 years from now, long when justice Scalia is dead and people don't remember who George bush was, I will be telling my grandkids stories about how when I was a child, being gay was not normal. Like how I get a kick out of watching Betty Boop's racist depiction of blacks, They will watch old videos of Bill O'Reilly and Scalia, and think about how horrible those people were and how ridiculous and primitive society was for letting them say these things in public.

why does 'adult incest' come with the 'adult' part? just curious?

***** oh thanks, yeah the bestiality thing did kind of throw me off there. I'd argue adult incest isn't victimless if they ever have a child though

In fact the new testaments were most likely ghost written. * not actually written by the aposteles themselves and there are many books that were not chosen as sacred in the first council of Nicea.

As a devout Catholic Scalia should recuse himself from the case, as a practicing follower of his faith it would be impossible for him to give an impartial ruling on fact alone.

@AsifIcarebear3 11 жыл бұрын

You must not hear very well either. 1:10 "gay people are the equivalent of murderers". Here he says that Scalia implied gay people were like murderers - saying it outright - which Scalia did not. His acknowledgement of the fact that it's an analogy doesn't erase what he said half a sentence before, which was utter shit.

Totally agree. How we think and perceive is taught to us, we may well indeed and do have, physical reactions that are genetically controlled such as mating, vomiting if rotten flesh is eaten etc. But how we view those things is taught to us...without the perception of it we we put it down to a bad experience, remember not to do it again and simply walk away form it.

Who is comparing or diminishing what happened during slavery? Nobody so talking about specifics slavery doesn't further any point, but talking about the civil rights movement of the 1960s, there is a comparison. I'm black and gay, so spare me the lecture on slavery and racism. I've been through both racism and homophobia in my life, they're very similar.

@mnhsty 11 жыл бұрын

There may be a genetic component to discrimination against anyone who is different. As little kids we may pick on certain other kids for all kinds of reasons adults recognize as totally irrational and cruel, but we (hopefully) grow out of it. Those who don't manage to grow out of it we rightly call sociopaths, prejudiced, biased, racist, etc. Just because something is 'natural' or genetically influenced, doesn't automatically make it desirable or justified. This should be obvious.

Agreed. Well, there is evidence that some of the material in the Gospels originates from around the time of the Apostles, but not necessarily all of it. Even when I was a Christian I felt that Christians should feel no compulsion to adhere to the Nicean canon. Why would the members of the Council of Nicea be any more qualified than any other Christian to determine what is "from God" and what isn't? I figured if God wants people to reach out he'll let their heart know what sounds true or false.

Interesting how only one person recognized that I was ripping off Morgan Freeman... And frankly, I don't think it's fair to count "homophobia" among the phobias. Some people have phobias that cause serious, debilitating physical reactions. Scalia does not have this kind of reaction.

uh, no. sorry, I can't seem to find it. But if you are arguing that the government has no right passing laws about sex, that is absurd. There are all types of laws about sex that make perfect sense. (Ex: consent requirements, age requirements, location requirements, anti-prostitution laws, etc.).

It doesn't say any of that anywhere in the constitution. That comes from the Declaration of Independence. You should read the Constitution before arguing about it.
