He is actually correct. There is no right to privacy in the constitution or the bill of rights, it was invented a while ago by lawyers.

Not saying I agree the Scalia here, but the point is the reason why the U.S. system is better than all others is because is federalist, with most powers going to the states.

And people like Scalia believe that rather than bringing crap like this to the Supreme court who really does lack the authority to do anything, the time would have been better spent electing people into the Texas state legistlature who would change the stupid fucking law.

Where it would not have taked 22 years or whatver.

It always amazes me that people are so willing to accept a dictatorship of a few old guys on the Supreme court passing edicts on things way beyond anything in the constitution, we need a few more Scalias and Thomases who will stick to the law...
