"Justice Scalia Is Clearly Bent...."

You said it, Bill, not me.

This is a bit old by now, but I haven't seen any comments on William F. Buckley's call for the repeal of Texas's law criminalizing gay sex (aka sodomy). It's clear from the piece that Buckley's main motivation is the fear that the Supreme Court will recognize a fundamental privacy right for gay men and lesbians to engage in sexual activity. And his view of Texas law enforcement is certainly delusional idealized. But the old lizard does say that "the facts of the matter weigh against Texas" and "it's hard to defend what the Texans did."

I picture much wailing and gnashing of teeth among the Bigot Brigade -- Goldberg, Dreher, Derbyshire and Lopez -- at NRO's Corner. But did any of them have the courage to slam the old man for his objectively pro-sodom stand?
