The Texas sodomy law is being tried at the Supreme Court. This Scalia guy is wacked scary:
"It's conceded by the state of Texas that married couples can't be regulated in their private sexual decisions," says Smith. To which Scalia rejoins, "They may have conceded it, but I haven't."
And
Breyer notes that during World War I people also thought it "immoral" to "teach German in schools. ... Immoral is a hard line to draw."
"There is a rational basis," insists Rosenthal.
"You're not giving us a rational basis," snaps Breyer.
"The rational basis," says Scalia, "is that the state thinks it's immoral. Like bigamy or adultery."
"Or teaching German," grins Breyer.
