Scalia questions court's authority for moral decisions :: The Associated Press
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says the high court judges, trained in law, could not specialize in making moral decisions for society.
Scalia, 71, spoke Thursday at Mississippi State University.
Among such issues cited by Scalia were whether it was a woman's natural right to have an abortion, the right for one to marry another of the same sex or the right to engage in certain sexual acts that are private and consensual.
"What I am questioning is the propriety, indeed, the sanity of letting value-laden decisions such as these be made for the entire society," said Scalia.
