Ok I see the differences in our arguments. You’re arguing the idea that the courts are making laws rather than the constitutionally approved method through the legislator process. In your examples the legislature did change such issues as women voting and slavery. In the sodomy rulings all the court did was over throw state laws (yes another argument could be penned for state rights here) because those laws were unconstitutional. I just want to know where in the constitution Justice Antonin Scalia gets his argument. We actually don’t really differ in our points of view Chris, I agree the ACLU is scary and I agree that the legislator should make the laws. Here all the court did was determine that the said law was unconstitutional. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

It shouldn't be the city's responsibility to build such a facility, especially in this economy. If Gays, Lesbians, and trans gendered people want a retirement home let them build their own just like straight people have to do. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

Ah I'd rather focus on the constitutional bases for this argument rather than gay sex, oh wait you've always been able to have legal oral sex __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

But where in the constitution does it say that adults can't do what they want in their bedrooms? Where does the constitution even remotely imply Justice Antonin Scalia opinion? They had slavery when they wrote the constitution, was that must have been a bad change for society? Or could it have been that times have changed nearly 100 years after the original writing the constitution? __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

Scalia Ridicules Court's Gay Sex Ruling Thu Oct 23, 9:32 PM ET By ANNE GEARAN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (news - web sites) ridiculed his court's recent ruling legalizing gay sex, telling an audience of conservative activists Thursday that the ruling ignores the Constitution in favor of a modern, liberal sensibility. The ruling, Scalia said, "held to be a constitutional right what had been a criminal offense at the time of the founding and for nearly 200 years thereafter." Scalia adopted a mocking tone to read from the court's June ruling that struck down state antisodomy laws in Texas and elsewhere. Scalia wrote a bitter dissent in the gay sex case that was longer than the ruling itself. On Thursday, Scalia said judges, including his colleagues on the Supreme Court, throw over the original meaning of the Constitution when it suits them. "Most of today's experts on the Constitution think the document written in Philadelphia in 1787 was simply an early attempt at the construction of what is called a liberal political order," Scalia told a gathering of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. "All that the person interpreting or applying that document has to do is to read up on the latest academic understanding of liberal political theory and interpolate these constitutional understandings into the constitutional text." Scalia is a hero of conservatives who favor a strict adherence to the actual text of the Constitution. The 50-year-old Intercollegiate Studies Institute is a private conservative education organization that sponsors lectures and conferences and scholarships. The group says its mission is to, "enhance the rising generation's knowledge of our nation's founding principles — limited government, individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise (news - web sites) and Judeo-Christian moral standards." ISI draws much of its funding from conservative foundations, including three controlled by or associated with billionaire philanthropist Richard Mellon Scaife, a vehement critic of former President Clinton. Scalia spoke after standing with some 800 others to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. The Supreme Court announced last week that it will hear a case testing the constitutionality of the current version of the pledge as it is recited in public schools and that Scalia will not take part. Scalia apparently sidelined himself because of remarks he made earlier this year critical of a lower court ruling in the case. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) had found the pledge was unconstitutional in public school classroom because of the phrase, "one nation, under God." The Supreme Court could decide to strip the words "under God" from the patriotic oath or rule that the mention of God does not violate the notion of separation of church and state. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

clicky Embarrassed GM to Rename Car With Risque Overtones Wed Oct 22,10:46 PM ET MAKUHARI, Japan (Reuters) - General Motors Corp will rename its Buick LaCrosse in Canada because the name for the car is slang for masturbation in Quebec, embarrassed officials with the U.S. automaker said on Thursday. GM officials, who declined to be named, said it had been unaware that LaCrosse was a term for self-gratification among teenagers in French-speaking Quebec. GM officials in Canada are working on a new name for the car, a sedan that will go on sale next year to replace the Buick Regal. The mix-up is reminiscent of another GM vehicle with an unfortunate name. In the 1970s, GM exported its Chevrolet Nova to Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries, only to be told that Nova translated into "doesn't go". Despite the name, and contrary to popular folklore, the car sold well. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

sorry I just felt it was my duity to "IN" you Keith , so that you'd be real with yourself

Both of you seem to be stuck on the "one reason" theory. I know people who did not make a choice, it was always there. Hetero or not, most people know. I know people live in anguish because of their socialization. I also know people who made a choice out of anger. There are a lot of sources of anger. No listed needed. I think everyone knows people in all those categories. Sometimes, sexuality is a choice, sometimes it isn't. I don't think it's ever a choice, the people you've mentioned above can choose to repress their sexuality but that doesn't make them not gay. An African American could act Caucasian, dress white, surround themselves in a "Caucasian " lifestyle but the end result is that they are still African American __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

Nope, that makes you curious. Being gay is more than just sex - see, I can be serious too. I have to agree with Keith, but I've never seen him serious. Being gay isn't who you sleep with, a guy could be gay and force himself to sleep with women to fit a social standard. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes

This is the worse part, shouldn't her husband be in charge, isn't that a right of marriage that she willingly gave him when they married? I'd hope that my SO would do the right thing in a place like this.
