Scalia: "sexual orgies eliminate tension and ought to be encouraged"

What a lewd, crude remark!





Scalia decried his own court's recent overturning of a state anti-sodomy law, joking that he personally believes "sexual orgies eliminate tension and ought to be encouraged," but said a panel of judges is not inherently qualified to determine the morality of such behavior.

44. I Believe... That If It's More Than 2...
And everybody walks away satisfied and OK with themselves and each other, it's an orgy. Course... it's more likely to be a fantasy than an orgy, but that's because doing it well is so rare.

According to the books I've studied.

6. It's a funny remark, but the entire statement demonstrates the difference
between Repub and Dem beliefs in government, rights and the Constitution. He's saying that judges shouldn't decide the morality of sexual issues, but he's saying that it's okay to legislate and restrict them nonetheless. A Dem would say that neither a judge nor a legislator should decide someone else's morality, and it is the role of the courts to protect the people from legislators who try to do so.

15. Let's see...Thomas was accused of sexual harassment
and I believe Scalia once refused to answer a question about whether he has participated in sodomy with his wife.

Scalia Discusses Orgies and Sex

(10-01) 12:40 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's recent speeches have ventured into some surprising territory, with the staunchly conservative father of nine joking about sexual orgies.

Scalia is known for a biting humor and is entertaining on the talk circuit and on the bench during the court's argument sessions.

He raised some eyebrows with a speech this week at Harvard University, however, with a comment about the number of people needed for group sex and the jest that "sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

He made a similar remark in a speech Sept. 20 in Washington, to chuckles from the crowd at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, while making the point that judges can have personal moral judgments. It is not judges' role to impose them on citizens, he said.

28. "sexual orgies eliminate social tensions
and ought to be encouraged."

The Roman Empire did last a long time.

I do have one thing to say about Scalia though. I will see the guest list before I go to the next orgy!

Unfortunately, Tony doesn't have the same respect for me and my personal affairs.

23. So when does he get a censure
from the Vatican? None of our people ADVOCATE immorality, yet this Nuremberg blue plate Catholic special would support the punishment of selective people for selective sins with the Vatican's approval and make exceptions for Roman style decadence of the lowest character.

But to get to the point, this hugely suggests, and even boasts of personal experience and current behavior by himself and some circle jerk of friends. You don't talk like this unless you are either trying to bluff out your secret life a la Senator "Monkey Business" Hart or are just too personally immoral to see anything wrong with one's personal preferences. Has no one dared ask of his personal experience? Come on!

Maybe it would be safer if Bill Bennett and he were in a therapy group because with their different proclivities it wouldn't devolve into a sex therapy session.

Scalia: "I'll bet you'll like this better than gambling."

Bennett: "You're on, your honor!"

It's immoral to prohibit the behavior. Strawman alert! Let the individual be responsible for his morality.
