Lambda Legal Sues Social Security on Behalf of Lesbian Seeking Spousal Survivor's Benefits


Heartless bigoted bureaucratic bastards !! This is one more reason why we can't let the SCOTUS move to far to the right!!

Lambda Legal today filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) on behalf of a 63-year-old lesbian seeking spousal survivor's benefits based on her relationship with her partner of 27 years, who died in 2006 before same-sex couples in the State of Washington were able to marry.

The lawsuit filed on behalf of Helen Thornton in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington argues that SSA's exclusion of same-sex couples from survivor's benefits based on their inability to marry is unconstitutional.

Outrageous! They would have been married if they could have been .To deny her survivors benefits is tantamount to blaming the victim of discrimination.

Thank you so much for that brilliant and cogent commentary on an important issue. As always to seek to raise the level of intellectual discourse on the USMB to the highest level. You are such an asset and a blessing to behold!

Another good reason to get rid of SS and to privatize retirement savings accounts - they would then be personal assets that can be bequeathed to whomever one chooses.

Red herring logical fallacy. The fact is that we have social security and this is a case of social and economic justice. If you want to push privatization, devise a plan and put it out there - on another thread

Speaking of Red Herrings.

The issue is that the retirement resources of one person are seized by the government instead of being available to his heirs.

Nobody gives a crap what you agree with. You are living in a world that does not exist anymore. You are a dinosaur who will soon be extinct.

I see highway robbery, but not in the way you think. The issue is the massive taxation that working people endure. You are looking at one leaf instead of understanding the forest.

I'll bet regressiveparasite BELIEVES that shit.

It could say that out loud while hooked up to a polygraph and flat line it.

Instead of wasting our money on the global warming hoax, we need to get scientists to figure out how pieces of shit like regressiveparasite thwart natural selection and survive to adulthood. We could double the GDP if we were not keeping parasites like that alive in spite of themselves.


It's too goddamned bad AIDs doesn't work faster.

Ex post facto law is explicitly and absolutely prohibited by the Constitution. What is being demanded by the OP would constitute an instance of ex post facto law, and as such, would be blatantly unconstitutional.

At seventy-one years of age, you'll be extinct soon enough. SassyIrishLass, to whom you directed this remark, will surely be around long after you have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Libturds love laws that undermine the COTUS.

Like that fucking Lautenberg Law that has cost countless people in the military and law enforcement their careers, because they pled guilty to lesser charges after being accused of things that police should not even be bothered by.

Yet it will never cross whatever sphincter functions as your "mind" that it's a bullshit issue.

I do want to deal with it. I just don't want to deal with it the way you want me to.

Tough.
