6. The fact that Scalia dissented indicates that he has gone totally off the rails.

Scalia, a supposed free-speech advocate (I still rather like his 1989 Texas v Johnson opinion re flag burning) was the lone dissenter here. Thus he was supporting a law that would have compelled doctors to give an untruthful and unwanted scripted speech to the patients they are supposed to serve. He is a senile old fool these days, choking on his bile, hypocrisy, and bitterness.

Retire already, Scalia: you have no business 'interpreting' (i.e- trampling) the Constitution any longer!

This ruling may help in Texas Gothmog Jun 2015 #16

No, it won't help. BillZBubb Jun 2015 #24

The Texas case was never appealed to SCOTUS and so there is still a conflict between circuits Gothmog Jun 2015 #26

Yes, there is a conflict. And it will remain. BillZBubb Jun 2015 #28

The counsel that brought the lawsuit is aware of this and is exploring options Gothmog Jun 2015 #33
