Scalia's plan to relieve social tensions. Who knew?

[plover]

Supreme Court Justice and sexual rebel Antonin Scalia gave a speech at Harvard (http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=503540) last week. During the question and answer period, he offered a typically swingin' suggestion for a relaxed social life:
“I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged,” Scalia said.

That's seriously the coolest thing I've ever heard anyone in public office say.

I had no idea he was such a fun-loving libertine.

Hahahaaa..oh man

That statement by Scalia strikes me as odd, and untypical of him. Anyways, I really dont' have the hots (intentional euphemism there) for Scalia, so I'll refrain from shooting my mouth off ...

On the paper, Scalia replied that his quote was taken out of context.

Drat, the first version was so much better. Apparently the article misquoted him and the original statement was:
I even accept for the sake of argument that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged.
Here's the corrections page (http://www.thecrimson.com/corrections.aspx) for the paper.

I wonder how Ruth Bader Ginberg took the news.
