Josh Gad Comments on Justice Scalia's Dissent in DOMA Ruling

Josh Gad wrote today in his satirical column for USA Today about Justice Scalia's dissent in the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA.

Gad wrote: "According to the laws of Scalia's land, we cannot judge on right or wrong or on conscience. Because the consequences of that might very well be...universal happiness. I shudder at the thought. After all, a happy gay is a dangerous gay. Pretty soon, we'll all be drowning in a sea of confetti and satin. Now we must continue to abide by the LAW, not to be "interpreted," not to be mettled with. After all, I'm positive there was no clause in the decision to make corporations individuals. There couldn't have been. No."

"That would be, to use a Scalia-approved Latin term, hypocrisy," he added.

This morning, the court declared that legislation which says marriage must be between a man and a woman is unconstitutional, thus allowing homosexual couples to receive the same benefits as heterosexual couples. The court also struck down California's Proposition 8.

He recently starred in the TV series 1600 Penn, and his film work includes Jobs, The Internship, and the upcoming movies Frozen and Zach Braff's Wish I Was Here.
