Orgies are the way to ease social tensions, claims US judge
 

Got to love things like this story, I just want to know when Pixies is sponsoring the first orgy!

He is the conservative bastion of the US supreme court, a favourite of President Bush, and a hunting partner of the vice-president. He has argued vociferously against abortion rights, and in favour of anti-sodomy laws.

But it turns out that there is another side to Justice Antonin Scalia: he thinks Americans ought to be having more orgies.

Challenged about his views on sexual morality, Justice Scalia surprised his audience at Harvard University, telling them: "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

It seems unlikely that this is what President Bush meant when he promised to appoint more judges like Scalia to the court, should the opportunity arise. Crucially, Justice Scalia is one of the judges in favour of overturning Roe v Wade, the landmark judgment protecting abortion as a constitutional right.

One audience member also asked the judge "whether you have any gay friends, and, if not, whether you'd like to be my friend," the Harvard Crimson newspaper reported.

"I probably do have some gay friends, but I have never pressed the point," Justice Scalia responded. He offered no clue to the logic behind his claim that orgies eliminate social tensions.

Nobody asked him whether he was familiar with Rick Moody's novel The Ice Storm, turned into a movie by Ang Lee, which appeared to suggest the exact opposite.

Lol thats precious. It's great when zelots like that come out of the conservitive closet if only for a little while.

mmmmm moonchild i would love to be at an orgy with you :) there are many other Pixies ladies that I could say the same for.

A strange mixture that judge, wonder if he has ever done anal?

Count me in on the orgy!!!

(And I just think that judge is either greatly sexually frustrated or confused. I just can't decide which.)

Talk about flip-flop politics! LOL!
