Scalia asked at NYU if he sodomizes his wife

[Oilwellian]

Close to 50 NYU law students and members of the New York community lined the sidewalk outside of Vanderbilt Hall yesterday afternoon to protest Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was being honored by a student-run law journal.

Scalia visited NYU to receive an honor from the members of the NYU Annual Survey of American Law , which is dedicating their 2005 issue to Scalia.

Scalia is the subject of controversy for his dissenting opinion in Lawrence v. Texas, in which he criticized the decision to overturn a law that criminalized sodomy. While on the court he voted for the right to desecrate the American flag, and against the right to abortion and the right to engage in homosexual sex.

Prior to the dedication ceremony, Scalia met with law students for a Q-and-A session in Tishman Hall. The Q-and-A had limited seating - the audience was chosen randomly from students who RSVPed - and was closed to the press, though the discussion was simulcast on a projector across the hall.

(snip)
In asking about Scalia's dissent in Lawrence v. Texas and his view that privacy is not constitutionally protected, Eric Berndt, a law student, shocked the crowd by asking, "Do you sodomize your wife?"

Scalia refused to answer the question while the crowd gasped and the administrators promptly turned off Berndt's microphone.

1. LOL!

Excellent! Brilliant!

[Snotcicles]

90. I guess they didn't want Scalias privacy interfered with. n/t

[Runcible Spoon]

2. NICE!

a messy cream pie would have topped that off nicely! :evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

7. O yes. O yes. The visual alone is very satisfying.

[BuyingThyme]

8. This seems a to be on a different level than the pie throwing.

If this animal thinks there's no right of privacy and no right of sexual freedom, then people have a responsibility to ask him questions about his sexual activities...And he's obligated to respond.

[Runcible Spoon]

10. OK maybe another kind of pie in his face?

a hair one? :spank: :evilgrin:

[BuyingThyme]

11. Now you're talkin'.

[aquart]

14. No pie. More questions.

[MisterP]

22. Coca-Cola and Clarence Thomas?

[Runcible Spoon]

25. snarf!

ahhh the memories...:evilgrin:

[Catherine Vincent]

3. Oh my!

Scalia will think twice tonight about that! LOL!

[Oilwellian]

16. I suspect...

his wife will too. :D

[leftchick]

85. I doubt they have had ANY sex of any kind,,,

once them babies were born.

[WMliberal]

89. he's got 9 kids.

I think they found a way. :puke:

Although I bet they only do it missionary with the lights off and shirts on. ;)

[Cuban_Liberal]

4. LMAO!

:rofl:

[thebigidea]

5. someone should get him to elaborate on the orgy thing...

... I swear, when was the last time you heard a prominent political figure advocating group sex? Its certainly a first, unless Martin Van Buren had a saucy side I wasn't aware of.

[saltpoint]

6. Mr. Berndt may give offense to some but since Scalia's --

-- vote in Lawrence v. Texas presumed to tell OTHERS what they could or could not do with their genitals, it seems to me that Berndt's "immoral" question was no more offensive than Scalia's moralistically written opinion on the same act(s).

I say bravo for Mr. Berndt.

[ninkasi]

29. I second the bravo...

and would also ask him if he and his wife participate in the orgies he seems to advocate. Fucking pervert has no right to tell other people how to conduct themselves sexually, as long as they are consenting adults.

The government has no business in our bedrooms, or any other rooms of our homes we choose to use. As long as the acts are consensual, and between adults, the government can just butt out. Doesn't it seem strange that Scalia gives more rights to gun owners than to adults having sex? That's wrong, and a perfect example of Republican values.

[saltpoint]

77. You put it a lot better than I did, ninkasi.

You've GOT to be an attorney. I'd hire you in a flash.

Agree with you on those orgies. If it's none of my business what he does in groups of adults, it should be none of his what I do with only one adult.

Your point on gun owners vs. sexually consenting adults is magnificent. Thank you for saying that and pointing it out.

[saltpoint]

78. edited. Well,

< self-edited... a bit too coarse for the sensitive times we live in >

[ninkasi]

82. Thanks to you, Old Crusoe

I'm glad you'd hire me, but I'm actually a great-grandmother, and dropped out of high school in my senior year. I never saw my lack of formal education as an impediment to learning, though.

I also used coarse language, but I'm just so tired of all the sanctimonious, self-righteous, rightwingers trying to dictate to the rest of us how to live. I hope more and more of us are willing to stand up to these bullies and stop letting them run our lives. I have my hands full just managing my own; my suggestion to them is that they do the same, and realize that the only life they have a right to make decisions for is their own.

[saltpoint]

91. Well, dammit, I'll hire you anyway.

Your story is very, very impressive and uplifting. I'm pretty much blown away.

My hat is off to you, ma'am.

And go, Democrats!

[Democrats_win]

9. Just ducky. Really, DUCK! That was a metaphorical pie.

Gotcha, Scalia!

[Mojambo]

12. I wish I could buy that kid a beer.

Very well done. I hope we see more confrontation of moral hypocrites in this manner.

[sundancekid]

13. Bravo, Berndt. Ah, the unintended consequences of one's opinions!

Scalia - Impaled on his own ... petard, at least.

[sonicx]

15. Maybe he refused to answer because...

it's the other way around? :spank:

[FreedomAngel82]

31. LOL

I didn't need that image. LOL.

[Cooley Hurd]

72. You mean like Ralphie and Janice on "The Sopranos?"

Janice: You're a little BITCH, aren't you?
(buzzzzzzz)
Ralphie: Oh yes, YES!
(buzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

:evilgrin:

[Pushed To The Left]

17. Lawrence v. Texas: The case that "pushed me to the left"!

Scalia is apparently uncomfortable with others knowing whether or not he sodomizes his wife, yet thinks it is okay for consenting adults to be THROWN IN JAIL for what they do in the bedroom! Anybody who supports "sodomy laws" has no place in any position of authority, especially the Supreme Court.

I still remember hearing that the "sodomy laws" had been overturned, and how glad I was. Then, I heard Scalia's dissent where he talked about a "culture war." I heard that three Justices dissented: Scalia, Thomas, and Renquist. The right-wing three! Next, I heard right-wing activists and talk show hosts expressing outrage that consenting adults could no longer be thrown in jail for sodomy. They came out against the right to privacy. What kind of sick minds would be against protecting privacy rights? They exposed themselves for what they truly are that day, and I have been opposed to the right wing ever since!

Here are some links that the right-wing hates!

18. ROFLMAO!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[longship]

19. First Ann Coulter, now Scalia.

In Lawrence, KS:

Ann, which is larger, your Adam's Apple or your penis?

In NYC:

Justice Scalia, do you sodomize your wife?

I love it. Let's keep this going.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Did someone

really ask Coulter that question? AHAHAHAHA!

[GiovanniC]

59. Yes, and She Cried Like a Little Boy About It

And asked for some big strong conservatives to take away the mean nasty liberals.

They hurted Ann's feelings.





PS: How Ann gets "freedom" fries:

[Robeysays]

86. hahahaahaha

thats hilarious, you're not kidding i never heard about that?


:rofl: :spray:

[eauclaireliberal]

20. C'mon, Fat Tony! Tell us the truth.

Do you and the Mrs. have Anal Adventures, much to the contrary of your judicial hammering?

Ah, the truth shall set you free, fuckwit.

[MadHound]

71. Not just anal adventures

Oral sex is considered to be sodomy also.

No more blowjobs for Fat Tony:evilgrin:

[CountAllVotes]

21. lol!

Scalia had no real answer eh? :D :D :D

:kick:

[Stinky The Clown]

23. Hahahahahaha ... maybe the ACLU will hire that brave man

cuz no law firm will!

[liontamer]

76. I'm sure he'll be scooped up by some blue chip firm.

that's was impressive thinking.

[OneBlueSky]

24. glad to see there are still people with BALLS in this country . . .

despite the fear and loathing engendered daily by BushCo and their minions . . .

[Swamp Rat]

26. HAHA!! Kick ass Eric Berndt!

[Straight Shooter]

27. Well, you know how it goes, if Scalia refused to answer ...

... then he clearly has something to hide!

You're fair game, Tony. You swung that door wide open when you tried to remove the right to privacy of consenting adults.

[LoZoccolo]

28. There should be a liberal hero award...

...in addition to the "Top 10 Conservative Idiots", and this guy should get it this week.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. I like that idea

:D Nice idea. I think that'd be cool.

[Behind the Aegis]

39. Great idea!

Post it to the mods! It would be nice to see some heros along with the parade of zeros!

[FreedomAngel82]

30. Too funny

Using some Bush tackets I see. Not letting real press people ask question's and hiding from them. What a loser.

[Must_B_Free]

33. Interesting that he chose to protect his privacy

Although he argues that he himself has no constitutional basis for doing so.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

35. they could have asked if he beats her, too

like hannity did with michael schiavo

[sonicx]

37. did he really ask him that?

[derbstyron]

36. And people say God doesn't have a sense of humor.

Or democrats.

[dzika]

38. That great! Use the hypocrisy against them!

[lonestarnot]

40. Don't know what to make of the question to Scalia...weird question...

took balls to ask I guess, but think he could have put better question forth to ask the same thing... LOL

[Oilwellian]

42. The question was brilliant...

metaphorically speaking. :D

[Withywindle]

41. Bwhahah!

Coulda done without the mental images, but I'll take that hit for my country.

How many of these fulminating RW men would fulminate nearly so hard if they thought about the implications for "sodomy" laws on their own gawd-given rights to BJs? (Not that they'd ever be prosecuted as long as they were straight RWers of course)

[begin_within]

43. We all knew the answer anyway: she sodomizes him.

[girl gone mad]

44. Hahahahaha!

I wish I could have been there to see the look on Scalia's face.

And I have a hard time believing that a crowd of NYU law students was "shocked" by the question...

[Hardrada]

45. Or: Do you still sodomize your wife?

No wait: Do you still sodomize your wife, sir?

[fujiyama]

46. Awesome question

And the administrators were ass holes for turning his mic off. What kind of group is giving him a fuckin award for anything (I'm not sure if a pun was intended here or not)? So 'Fat Tony' Scalia, a pig on the court if there ever was one, gets an award by some group at a law school...and conservatives whine about "liberal bias" at colleges?

'Fat Tony' Scalia, a pig on the court if there ever was one, gets an award by NYU law school survey...and where is this liberal bias conservatives are whining about there being at campuses?

[nolabels]

48. So why did he refuse to answer the question?

Sounded like a fair one to me :shrug:

Like does the dude have some hangup about it or something?

Like, someone should of asked him when he defecates does it smell like rose petals x(

The hubris of this whole lot of on high assholes looks likes ten pounds of shit in a five pound bucket

[annabanana]

49. ..just perfect...It's too bad the audience didn't "get it"

right away...Maybe they did when they got home that night..

(It was a fair question,IMHO)

[hootinholler]

50. The only better question would have been

Did you stop sodomizing your wife before or after Lawrence V Texas?

-Hoot

[ArchTeryx]

51. Unfortunately...

Such actions have consequences. I remember: I asked a far less loaded, but politically uncomfortable, question of a hospital scientific administrator at a "town meeting" once. (It had to do with parking for a new building going up). He answered the question smoothly, but within the next 8 months, I found myself out of a job.

I would bet that this kid just got himself blacklisted for life from most law firms, those that deal with the government at least. We might want to keep track of him in some way. He's a hero today, but is he simply going to be tomorrow's destitute and unemployed for daring to put Scalia on the spot?

[sam sarrha]

52. should have asked if he F*cked his 'Mistress' in the ass....

[leesa]

53. Wonder if anyone asked him about 'duck hunting for dollars' with Cheney

[indepat]

54. Mr. Berndt's question would be impudent and offensive if not so delicious

[DrGonzoLives]

55. Sodomy isn't just anal sex

so it was actually a very good question. Nearly every anti-sodomy law also includes oral sex and things like that.

[Pirate Smile]

60. Republicans (most of them at least) don't seem to know that. I had

to mention that to my FIL and he didn't believe me. We had to break out the dictionary to prove it to him.

Trust me, that was not a conversation I want to have with my RW Father in Law but even he doesn't want to outlaw oral sex. TOO Much information lalalalalalalala.


edit to add: While looking for a smilie with fingers in its ears saying laa laa laa, I found this one which just seems to fit

[Robeysays]

88. you wouldn't like our family dinners ha! n/t

[Robeysays]

87. is that Dr. weird from ATHF?

that show rocks, i had all the DVDs but my friend lost one now i got to buy it again. i record the show every Sunday.

[BiggJawn]

56. Damn good question.

The question being why do you support crimminalizing acts that if performed by a man upon a woman, wouldn't even raise an eyebrow, but yet if 2 men or 2 women are doing them to each other, it's all of a sudden a "Crime against Nature".

And I maintain that even that should be a Civil matter, so if Nature feels wronged, let Nature bring suit.

[Virginian]

63. a "Crime against Nature".?

A "Crime against Nature"?

If they are so worried about crimes against Nature, why do they want to allow drilling in ANWR, reduced laws against air and water polution, ... ?

[BiggJawn]

84. Yeah, a "Crime against Nature"

That's what they used to call any sexual act that was incapable of creating a pregnancy.

IOW, anything sexual besides having a male orgasm in a Vagina, causing all those Sacred Sperm to go rush towards a poor, unsuspecting Ovum...

A married couple giving each other a hand job, or doin' the "69" was a "Crime agaisnt Nature".

And I thought we had come a long ways since then. Perhaps we had, but we're boomeranging our way back into the Dark Ages.

I hope Jeebus brings me a new Electra-Glide when we get there...

[Mr_Spock]

57. Nothing could be finer than to be in her ______ in the mooornin!

OK, so the sodomized version doesn't rhyme - sue me then! :D

[progressoid]

58. OK, that just made my morning. Now I can get to work.

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

[Bouncy Ball]

61. Geez, I knew an Eric Berndt

a few years ago, he said he was going to law school in the northeast.

God, I wonder if that was HIM. The Eric Berndt I knew WAS a really gutsy kind of guy, and a big liberal.

[derby378]

62. Let the day friggin' begin!

But now I remember that scene of Mrs. Cartman with the plumber from last night's South Park. Hoo-boy...

[Rooktoven]

64. Right on for that student.

(Crossposted before I read this) If Tony thinks there is no right to privacy, why is he so zealously guarding his?

The way, there's a huuuge New Yorker article about fat Tony from a few weeks ago-- it went on 15 plus pages, I read sections but had a hard time giving all my time to it (so much for my discipline/interest). But anyhow, one thing stood out. He supposedly doesn't respect Sandra Day O'Connor because she's intellectually inconsistent-- whereas he's good friends with Ruth Ginsburg _because_ of her consistency. Yet, here in the same article (which has been documented elsewhere) is the scene where he gets a question from the student about Election 2000--

And rather than explain his position. He replies (paraphrasing) "It was four years ago, and we've had an election since then, so my response is 'Get over it'". Nice job Tony, hide from your own inconsistency. Where are the States' rights you so consistently supported?

I'll answer for you Tony-- they're in the trash can with your consistency, principles, and honor. Not only does Tony flout his credo, he doesn't have the guts to explain himself. Tony may be a smart guy, but he's a gutless coward.

[lateo]

65. Brilliant!

66. Is the link dead?

67. what a fine, fine question!

what an excellent lad mr berndt is.

scalia = activist judge #1

[Zorra]

68. Republican men only sodomize their mistresses, boyfriends, or

victims.

For the wives, it's strictly a rare, occasional missionary encounter done in the dark, and solely for the purposes of pro-creation.

[LiberallyInclined]

69. He hires the Bulldog for that-

Antonin just likes to watch, whack-off, and take pictures.

[peekaloo]

70. teeheeheeeheeeeheeeeeheeeeee

Suck on that Fat Tony!

[smoogatz]

73. Gawd. The look on Fat Tony's face must have been priceless.

It's a wonderful thing when the people get uppity with these arrogant RW fuckballs, and call them on their obvious hypocrisy. More pies. More impertinent questions, if you please.

[BringEmOn]

74. Scalia refused to answer......

He just sat there licking his eyebrows.

[liontamer]

75. I'm so proud to go to NYU!!! eom

[Arugula Latte]

79. Berndt, you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my heeeeeeeeero?

[Debaser]

80. Not if she has any say in the matter, I'm sure.

It's a great question...but a nauseating image.

[librarycard]

81. A fair question

It's a case Scalia was familiar with. Why didn't he respond?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

83. Go NYU! My son was recently accepted by them. :) n/t

92. I believe gamer culture has a word for this...
