Trump will pick sycophants, that's how he runs his businesses.
Lawrence vs Texas, Scalia is just being a bigot, plain and simple. There was nothing conservative about his opinion, unless the definition of conservative is being an asshole to the minority for doing things you merely don't approve of but cause no one harm. Trying to convince knowledgeable people he was a constuctionist is futile.
- majewsky 10y ago> unless the definition of conservative is being an asshole to the minority for doing things you merely don't approve of but cause no one harm It isn't? :D In all seriousness though... When I read this, I remembered a famous scene of Angela Merkel, a conservative (though more progressive than most conservatives). Before the 2015 national elections in Germany, she appeared at a question time session and a citizen asked her about her stance on gay marriage. She hummed and hawed for a few moments, and then answered that she is "not comfortable with it". Analysts interpreted her answer not as her personally disapproving of gay marriage, but as mirroring the feelings of the majority.
