Chief Justice Antonin Scalia, bastion of conservative ideology, outspoken critic of sodomy, pillar of moral virtue announced at Harvard that he feels sex orgies are a good way to relieve social tension. Also they sky is green and hell is cold. Film at eleven.

Renquihst is still Chief Justice. Scalia merely thinks he's Chief.

D'oh! Brainfart. I knew that.

Still, this is fucking priceless coming from Scalia.

Scalia most likely means that orgies make people feel better and more relaxed in the sense of "it's all too easy to be tempted to do the easy and comfortable thing and stray from the path of righteousness".

Well it explains a lot since Americans consistently rank below the global average in frequency, quality, and satisfaction in worldwide surveys about their sexlives.

Actually:

[quote="The Guardian"But it turns out that there is another side to Justice Antonin Scalia: he thinks Americans ought to be having more orgies.

Challenged about his views on sexual morality, Justice Scalia surprised his audience at Harvard University, telling them: "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

It seems unlikely that this is what President Bush meant when he promised to appoint more judges like Scalia to the court, should the opportunity arise.[/quote]

If that quote is accurate, how can this be the same ass-clown who believes that it's almost impossible to produce a case where the Establishment Clause applies?

Because he's a repressed fundie virgin who's never seen a naked woman in his life finally giving in to the Dark Side?

Have a very nice day.

With an extremely repressed personality like Scalia's, anything's possible.

Maybe he considers anything beyond being in the same room with more than three women showing their knees an orgy. Besides, they rarely lead to dancing like other sex acts.

Only Nixon could go to China, and only Scalia could come out in favor of sex orgies.

You know, without the rest of his comments you don't really get the quote in context. So, I will provide it:

Moments after the sex orgies comment, Scalia then said, "So police dudes, I Ted--er, Scalia, say we need to save my son Ted, who was killed by our two evil robot us-es and totally save the princesses in time for the battle of the band."
Then Ashcroft showed up and responded "I believe you, dude. Excellent!"

Anyone have a more reliable source than a tabloid like The Guardian, or was this a joke article? I haven't heard of this anywhere else at all.

It's possible to have a very narrow accomidationist interpetation of the Establishment Clause without being a fundy, or enough of a fundy that it's impossible to have orgies. Though I imagine it helps.

While you guys go on having an orgie of your own blasting Scalia, I too am shocked. That's just a plain odd statement for anyone in his position, let alone Scalia.

Thanks. None of the major newswires have picked up on this yet (even Google News shows nothing), and its scandulous-sounding enough that I thought the networks would be over it like sharks.

Good, I'm glad you are shocked. Scalia just reassured us to the fact that he is indeed human.

Now to work on Ashcroft, Cheney, and Bush...

Recently seeing that particular film again, that quote fucking rocks.

Seems it was likely a joke, at least according to this article:

link

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's recent speeches have ventured into some surprising territory, with the staunchly conservative father of nine joking about sexual orgies.

Scalia is known for a biting humor and is entertaining on the talk circuit and on the bench during the court's argument sessions.

He raised some eyebrows with a speech this week at Harvard University, however, with a comment about the number of people needed for group sex and the jest that "sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

He made a similar remark in a speech Sept. 20 in Washington, to chuckles from the crowd at the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, while making the point that judges can have personal moral judgments. It is not judges' role to impose them on citizens, he said.

"Let me make it clear that the problem I am addressing is not the social evil of the judicial dispositions I have described. I accept, for the sake of argument, for example, that sexual orgies eliminate social tension and ought to be encouraged," Scalia said with a smile.

The 68-year-old was named to the Supreme Court in 1986 by President Reagan, and President Bush has said that Scalia is one of the justices he admires most.

A Harvard Law School graduate, he was invited to Cambridge, Mass., and spoke Tuesday to a packed auditorium.

According to The Harvard Crimson newspaper, Scalia ridiculed a European court decision that struck down British legislation barring group gay sex on the ground that the law intruded upon private life. He asked rhetorically and very much tongue-in-cheek how many people it takes for such sex.

"Presumably it is some number between five and the number of people required to fill the Coliseum," Scalia said, according to the newspaper.

On a more serious note, Scalia was asked if he had any gay friends. Scalia said he probably does, but he's never "pressed the point."
