Scalito Not a Homophobe

[Rick Duncan]

Hmmm. We all did lots of foolish things when we were undergraduates.
 
Of course, there is also a huge difference between being politically opposed to sodomy laws (as even Justice Thomas says he is), and ruling that the 14th Amendment somehow codifies the Kama Sutra.

Despite being dubbed Scalito by some, Alito appears not to have the 
antigay animus that such moniker would suggest. From today's New York 
Times:

"The Boston Globe reported Wednesday that as a student at Princeton, 
the judge had written a paper arguing that prohibitions against sodomy 
should be overturned and 'discrimination against homosexuals in hiring 
should be forbidden.'"

Are those my wedding bells that I hear from the future?
