             "Constitutional entitlements do not ... spring 
              into existence, as the Court seems to believe, because foreign 
              nations decriminalize conduct. ... The Court's discussion of these 
              foreign views 
              (ignoring, of course, the many countries that have retained criminal 
              prohibitions on sodomy) is therefore meaningless 
              dicta. Dangerous dicta, however, since 'this Court ... should not 
              impose foreign moods, fads, or fashions 
              on Americans.'" [Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, June 
              26, 2003, in a dissenting opinion, LAWRENCE 
              v. TEXAS, referring to recent decisions by the European Court 
              of Human Rights] 
              How 'bout that. Slumming. 
              You can take those to school for Show 
              and Tell.
