Althouse v. Frank:

[1]Blogress diva [2]Ann Althouse [3]defends Justice Scalia from Rep.
Barney Frank. Her essay begins:
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) says that U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Antonin Scalia is a "homophobe" who "makes it very clear that he's
angry, frankly, about the existence of gay people." Frank points to
Scalia's dissenting opinion in Lawrence vs. Texas�a case that
struck down a statute criminalizing homosexual sodomy�and accuses
the justice of thinking that "it's a good idea for two consenting
adults who happen to be gay to be locked up because he is so
disapproving of gay people."
But Scalia has written no such thing. Either Frank is an
incompetent reader or he is deliberately trying to mislead people
into believing that justices vote for results in cases the way
legislators vote a bill up or down.
[And some think Scalia has a sharp pen . . . ]
