Yeah, well it pisses me off to be told what I think, believe, do/don't do, just because I wear the uniform.

I am still an autonomous individual. I may have contracted to some limits on my freedom of choice, but I am not the primary actor.

And holier than thou, for something which has corporate blame enough to share out with everyone, well that's too obnoxious to put up with in saintly silence.

Esp. when I've said so, and more.

What shocks me about Scalia isn't the conclusion, it's the argument. Usually he makes the attempt to fabricate a constitutional framework for his position.

I think this was a case of his being caught out in a reactive moment; not having weeks to find some clever rhetorical device to paper over his pre-conceived ideas.
