"One of the benefits of leaving regulation of this matter to the people.is that the people, unlike judges, need not carry things to their logical conclusions. The people may feel that their disapprobation of homosexual conduct is strong enough to disallow homosexual marriage, but not strong enough to criminalize private homosexual acts--and may legislate accordingly. The Court today pretends that we need not fear judicial imposition of homosexual marriage. Do not believe it."
Was Justice Scalia correct? Of course he was. Consider that less than eight months later, the Massachusetts Supreme Court struck down that state's ban on homosexual marriage.
