One must wonder if this judge was merely trying to find an excuse for his bigotry or if he was trying to force the SCotUS to take up the decision.

Each point he makes in his opinion has been refuted by scientific study and common sense. Heck, even other 'conservative' justices have thrown those arguments out as unfounded and irrational.
