At a Tuesday speech at Rhodes College, which his grandson attends, the justice blasted the decision, calling it the "furthest imaginable extension of the Supreme Court doing whatever it wants," according to The Associated Press.
Scalia dissented in the case, accusing the court of being a "threat to democracy" and the justices who ruled for a constitutional right to marriage for gay couples the "Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast." The speech at Rhodes seemed to signal that his dismay over gay marriage continues.
"Saying that the Constitution requires that practice, which is contrary to the religious beliefs of many of our citizens," Scalia said, "I don't know how you can get more extreme than that." He added, "I worry about a court that's headed in that direction."

(101,320 posts)religious beliefs do not determine the constitution of laws of the USA. It's not 'extreme' - it's the essence of moderation. You don't allow the extremists to impose their religious ideas on other people, such as discrimination.

I think he's preoccupied with sex. I wonder if he and Thomas watch porn together.
