Fox News Clarifies Scalia "Orgy" Gaffe

Scalia Didn't Say That?

It turns out the uproar over comments by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (search) last week was based on a distorted quote.

The Harvard Crimson quoted Scalia as saying at an on-campus event, "I take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

But, in fact, Scalia never said he believed that, only saying "I even accept for the sake of argument that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

The Harvard Crimson has since issued a correction.

See there folks he was just saying it for "the sake of argument", wink wink, nudge nudge. Pathetic. Why not just come out in favor of orgies, Tony? We'd all respect ya a lot more!! :thumbsup:

4. Even the corrected quote...

...is still something I'd be surprised to hear Scalia say. I don't really see that much of a difference. This "correction" doesn't amount to much.

6. Agreed.

The thrust of the quote is so odd that saying it "genuinely" and saying it "for the sake of argument" seems a moot point. LOL!!
