[Supreme Court Justice Antonin] Scalia said the Texas ban did not infringe a "fundamental right." [...] "The court has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," Scalia wrote for the three, according to the AP. [...] "The court has taken sides in the culture war," Scalia said, adding that he has "nothing against homosexuals."

It must be a horrible thing for a man as smart as Scalia to be reduced to saying things like "the so-called homosexual agenda" and noting he doesn't have a problem with gay people.  And if having sex in your own home isn't a fundamental right, what the hell is?

In which America, exactly, is it proper for a Supreme Court opinion--supposedly the ultimate expression of objective deliberation in the nation--to refer to a "culture war"?

As dr_memory put it so eloquently (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dr_memory/45356.html), "Scalia's dissent is... like seeing the most groan-inducing bits of an old alt.politics.homosexuality flamewar enshrined as national canon."
