Supreme Court Justice Scalia: Women's Rights Not in Constitution

sorry justice Scalia I must disagree on that one stop place people based on their sex and insteadput put as human beings first women shaould have the same rights as anyone else .

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Yes, but he is a strict Constitutionalist, so if the Legislature passes a law regarding the rights of women he would overturn it because it's not in the Constitution. Looks like women lose both ways.

The biased republican SC memebers will argue both sides of the same issue depending on how they want the outcome. They are a disgrace.

Oh, I can't stand it ... really, I can't ... and how many of you women voted Republican? Why was that again? So that people like Scalia could tell you that you have no rights? Oh please ... stop it ... the Tea spilleth over !!!

I hate to point out to Justice Scalia but the three branches of government (including the judiciary) are part of the ORIGINAL constitution. Corporations are NOT mentioned in the original Constitution but Scalia and four of his colleagues seem to think they have the same rights as individuals (see the Citizens United case). If he feels the way he does about the role of courts and judges maybe he should resign from the Supreme Court (or be impeached) before he does any more damage!

you asked for it people - enjoy.

Sometimes, as in this case, what is not said in the Constitution is just as important as to what is said. That is why we have BOTH the S. Court and the Legislature. What one can or can not do can be undone by the other. Sorry, Margaret. God is not a woman. But then neither is God a man. Get a grip.

I never thought I would agree with Antonin Scalia on anything, but in this case, sadly, he is right. This is why we needed the Equal Rights Amendment, which got shot down by the right wing spreading idiotic scare stories about unisex bathrooms. Maybe it's time to revive the effort.

This man is a disgrace to the position he holds in the Supreme Court. How DARE he tell me that I am not equal to a man. Who the heck does he think he is? I don't care what his position is, he has no right to deny me MY rights. Disgusting. Now we see how the conservatives see things. If you aren't white and male, you are second or even third class. Typical. Time to start asserting ourselves a little more strongly, ladies. We have to do this for our sisters, aunts, mothers AND most importantl, our daughters.
