Also, Adblock Plus plugin for Firefox works really well to block the annoying animated advertisements on the right-hand side of the page.

Scalia is clearly a homophobe. Just read his Lawrence dissent. He doesn't even try to hide it.

Is Adblock really any good? 2-3 years ago, it was notoriously unstable and had a tendency to crash computers. (A tendency which I personally have verified.) But maybe the Mozilla folks have improved it since then.

6 - You understand neither Scalia's Lawrence dissent nor the meaning of "homophobe".

No need to defend against critics Barney. We can take judicial notice of the fact that Scalia is a homophobe. The Pope told him he had to be.

If you google "titanic," you come up with about 3 million images that would be better than the one used for this post....the "editors" of ATL aren't even trying anymore.

Tariq Ramadan is a terrorist enabler and defender and is actively undermining Europe and Western Civilization. He most certainly should not be admitted to the United States.

Funny how liberals all of a sudden arent so incensed about the executive branch trampling on the Constitution... Hypocrisy the one enduring liberal ideal.

If we're going to start impugning the motives of a Justice who simply states what is and is not constitutionally permissible (as opposed to what is desirable), then we can likewise impugn the motives of the know-nothings who call him a "homophobe": They are just scared about the future of their kiddie-porn rings.

Not 11.

Why is it most hetrophobic homosexuals call intelligent people homophobes?!!!
It's just juvenile name-calling - I'm sick of it!

What's up with that?!
