Scalia: Marriage Cases Coming "Soon"

Via the Wall Street Journal:

A coy Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia fielded questions about marijuana legalization and same-sex marriage and defended the role of religion in public life during a visit to Colorado on Wednesday. After giving a speech against the concept of an evolving Constitution, Justice Scalia at the University of Colorado was asked by a high school student about Colorado becoming the first state to allow recreational-pot sales, according to the Associated Press. The justice was also asked when we’ll find out if the high court will take up the question of whether state same-sex marriage bans are constitutional. “I know when, but I’m not going to tell you,” he reportedly replied, getting a big laugh from the audience. “Soon! Soon!” he added.

During his response to the marijuana question, Scalia noted that federal laws trump state laws. Dare we hope that he keeps that in mind when it comes to marriage? Naw.
