Coming on the heels of his Voting Rights autocracy, through which he tossed aside the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution as well as democratically elected representatives in successive Congresses, Justice Scalia's dissent in the DOMA case is especially breathtaking:
[T]he court had "no power" to reach its decision and was suffering from "an exalted conception" of its role in the nation, [he said].
"We have no power to decide this case. And even if we did, we have no power under the Constitution to invalidate this democratically adopted legislation."
Kinda leaves you speechless, doesn't it?
Almost.
