re: #229 calochortus

I am actually aware of that. The problem is that he (like most other people) has a specific set of biases (meant in a non-perjorative sense) that have made him view some precedents as more valid than others. He has not actually always respected precedent in cases far less clear cut than Plessy v. Fergueson.
The part that is interesting to me is whether with his explicit acknowledgement that the 2003 decision opened the way for same sex marriage, will he suddenly discover that he was wrong and it doesn’t really do that?

I’m going to say “probably not”. Antonin Scalia is not a man afraid to face the consequences of his own logic. But we need to wait for oral arguments, which should tell us much more (Scalia is almost always one of the most active justices when a case is argued before the Supreme Court).
