Scalia says abortion, gay rights are easy cases

I suppose Loving v Virginia would've been an easy case for Scalia, too.

 

He has to. If he publicly said it was wrong there'd be a massive public outcry, he'd probably be forced to resign.

 

I'm operating under the assumption that he actually believes in interpreting the Constitution the way he says he does. Which would mean ruling for Virginia, against Loving.

 

Well, he lost in both Romer and Lawrence, and where he was reduced to simply QQing in his dissents about how pure democracies are awesome. Textualism is actually a catatonically stupid judicial philosophy anyway.
