Prediction: Same Sex Marriage Will be the Law of the Land

[rightwinger]

Sorry, wrong. In both cases the definition is being changed. Prior to Loving, it was defined as being between two people of the same race. Until now, it was defined as between two people of the opposite gender. In any case, it just semantics. The fact is that the states have failed pathetically to come up with a compelling government interest or even a rational basis to deny marriage equality. It is about to be OVER

The ruling is not surprising. I would think the will of the governed would be enough of a reason but no once again activism wins which really is no surprise. Personally I could care less it is just a talking point.

63% want it, so the will of the governed is enforced by SCOTUS against the will of the wicked.

I do believe the majority, if not all, of the referendums where the people were asked said NO. Even in California. Yes, you can say the polls say anything you want both sides do it. But when the tire hit the road, gay marriage lost. Doesn't matter anymore any way, the deed is done.

The last 4 times voters were asked about same gender marriage, the voters said yes.

But that is rather immaterial since same gender couples have the same right to marriage as my wife and I enjoy.

Then why did there need to be a SCOTUS decision?

Because it came down to Constitutional rights

Just asking that question indicates to me that you have a very poor understanding of the whole process that got us here

In one horrifyingly obtuse paragraph, Justice Thomas demonstrates his simplistic concept of oppression. He writes:

"The corollary of that principle is that human dignity cannot be taken away by the government. Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits. The government cannot bestow dignity, and it cannot take it away." We Can t Even With The Irony Of Clarence Thomas s Marriage Equality Dissent



Human dignity cannot be taken away by the government? Really? Slaves, who were lawfully stripped of their culture and religion, taught that they were inferior to whites and not even fully human, forced into lives of servitude, abuse, rape, mental and emotional anguish, were not robbed of their basic human dignity? Really?

Parade of ass hats...

Several Republican candidates for president denounced the Supreme Court's ruling on Friday that affirmed all Americans have the right to marry, regardless of the sex of their partner.

Some of the candidates expressed concern that the ruling would force religious institutions to perform same-sex marriages against their objections. But writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy explicitly noted that religious institutions are protected by the First Amendment.

Here are some of the candidates' responses to the court's ruling.Republican Presidential Candidates Criticize Supreme Court Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

They think this over they won, they are wrong. A lot of people are upset with the way the Supremes WALKED over a States rights. this isn't over, they can beat their chest like apes all they want.

"People" hate the far right reactionaries' mean-spiritedness, rightfully so. You guys simply whine because you can't take what you dish. Sux to be you.

So the government can bestow dignity? How has that worked over the past 50 years? By any measure, dignity has declined over this period.

You seem to have missed his point: Dignity comes from within. It is not a Constitutional right.

If you think legal processes cannot affect or detract from human dignity, then you are suffering dementia as well.

Sorry, my friend, it is over. the problem now is the precedent that the SCOTUS decision on ACA will cause in the future. The liberals are laughing now but if the court should ever swing right (and I mean the right decision) and use the same logic this court did the liberals will be screaming and whining like children. Rightfully so BTW.
