WASHINGTON -- The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not protect against discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation, according to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
This here is a great example of what the Republican Party stands for these days. According to our loud and proud Republican Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, it's just fine and dandy for the government to pass laws discriminating against women. I can't say I'm surprised considering that this is a party that wants to force women to receive invasive and unnecessary vaginal ultrasounds. Considering that LEADERS in this party have openly questioned womens' right to access birth control- while Viagra is covered by their own medical plans. Considering that Republicans have ADMITTEDLY done everything in their power to keep American citizens who they don't like from voting.
There are several reasons why I'll vote for Hillary. But THE single most compelling reason for me is that we can't allow the GOP to appoint more guys like Scalia. They're making every effort to drag us back into the 19th century. I don't agree with the Democrats on everything, but I will NOT support the GOP's repeated attempts to maintain, defend, and even reinstate discrimination.
And lest anyone think this is some isolated, off-the-cuff remark... Republicans in South Carolina have just filed a brief saying that since it IS legal for them to discriminate against women, they can also discriminate against gay people:
Scalia made his comments in 2011 and I notice you've coveniently distorted the context, if you understood it at all. But this kind of ignorant bs is all we're going to hear from the left for the next two years in an effort to promote the gender wars.

Rather then just throw stones, why don't you explain the distortion, and link to the context. I for one would be interested in your reply. I truly dislike when people and news do what you describe.
I wonder if he'll rule that women are not persons.
Woman-Owned corporations get preferential treatment on Government contracts.
That's a good question.
