It appears members of the Supreme Court aren't above stating outright lies.

Justice Antonin Scalia made the comment during Tuesday's Prop. 8 hearing that “there’s considerable disagreement among sociologists as to what the consequences of raising a child in a single-sex family, whether that is harmful to the child or not.”

Only that's not true. And considering he had an amicus brief submitted by the American Sociological Association (ASA) on that specific subject, he should have known better.

We're right up there in the North Pole alongside Santa Claus, as far as Paul Scalia, son of vehement homophobe Justice Antonin Scalia, is concerned. Looks like the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

So does that mean that we've gone off in error by applying the 14th Amendment to both?

Yes, yes. Sorry, to ...

Despite the fact that the 14th Amendment clearly states its rights apply to ALL people born/naturalized in the United States of America, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (whose freaking job is based around a keen understanding of the Constitution!), has decided it only applies to heterosexual Americans. 

Speaking before the University of Richmand, Scalia said:
