Justice Antonin Scalia

According to Justice Antonin Scalia, today’s majority ruling represents a “judicial Putsch.”

Scalia wrote that while he has no personal opinions on whether the law should allow same-sex marriage, he feels very strongly that it is not the place of the Supreme Court to decide.

“Until the courts put a stop to it, public debate over same-sex marriage displayed American democracy at its best,” Scalia wrote. “But the Court ends this debate, in an opinion lacking even a thin veneer of law.”

Scalia stated he wanted to write a separate dissent “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.” Justice Clarence Thomas joined Scalia in this dissent.

Scalia attacked his colleagues’ opinion with his signature flourish. “The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic,” he wrote.
