Clarence Thomas Signals Willingness to Overturn Obergefell v. Hodges

Homosexuality always existed

However, they had to deal with haters like you and hide their relationship

And they should hide it, especially from children. They're fucked in the head. No one hates mentally ill people.

Wrong. Marriage was never between men-men and women-women until you confused folks showed up.

We are not confused. Marriage has gone through many manifestations. Currently it is the love and commitment of any two consenting adults regardless of gender. Too bad for you if you are confused or offended by that

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

OCD much? Lulz.

I am still waiting for you to grow a spine and admit that you believe that bans on interracial marriage should not have been struck down by SCOTUS

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Yes, I have a perfect understanding. It sounds like you don’t, though.

Bullshit! You understand nothing.

So you allow marriage between brother and sister.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

"the person they love". Many of us love our mothers. Can we marry them? But of course you would say yes because you are depraved.

Holy fucking shit! That is a false equivalency logical fallacy. There are different kinds of love. It is also a none sequitur fallacy. Your premise does not support your conclusion,. Please stop making a public spectacle of yourself. I am embarrassed for you .

Perhaps you should think before you speak. You said it.

I understand that you're an insecure asshole.

Try holding your breath.

True. So what does the Constitution say about those things not mentioned? The 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people".

Excellent.

Now go back one, to the Ninth.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

That means that there are rights beyond the ones explicit in the Constitution.

Also, check out the Fifth.

No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law

Notice especially the word "liberty." Liberty to do what? The Constitution doesn't explicitly specify, but the Government can't take it from us. The 14th extends that liberty to the States.

So what counts as "liberty," and what exactly are these non-explicit rights? The Supreme Court uses a process called "substantive due process" to examine our customs, society, and history to find out. I think you'll all agree that we should each have the liberty to:

- Vote.
- Keep our private lives private.
- Travel, even across state lines.
- Get married.
- Have children.
- Raise those children in the way we want.

And there you are. Substantive due process has shown us some of major rights that the 5th, 9th, and 14th refer to. In the study of Constitutional law, these are called implied or unenumerated rights, and they are real, and they are heavily backed up by rule and precedent, and you all very much have them. Congratulations.

Now back to Obergefell. Its majority decision was based on the unenumerated right to get married. The Justices determined that the government cannot, by the 5th and 14th Amendments, deny this right to some but allow it to others (unless it conflicts with another right, which it doesn't). That's a constitutional penalty flag. It's solid reasoning.

The 14th Amendment is the most abused Amendment of the Constitution. It's one of the slavery Amendments after the Civil War giving full citizenship to ex slaves and their descendants. Period.

Clarence Thomas Signals Willingness to Overturn Obergefell v. Hodges | Education News

Justice Clarence Thomas is also raising the possibility of overturning Obergefell v. Hodges and returning the legalization of gay marriage to the states.

www.educationviews.org

Commentary:
Thomas and Alito are out of control! Unlike abortion which has always been a highly emotional issue, the issue of same sex marriage has largely been forgotten. Gay folks are getting married and most people do not even notice. They are productive and responsible members of the community. They maintain homes and are parents to children. They have jobs and pay taxes. The reality of same sex marriage harms no one.

One the brighter side, Thomas has a problem. Who is going to bring a case to SCOTUS who has standing before the court-that is, someone who can legitimately claim that they were personally harmed by same sex marriage?

Sure, you have those bakers, photographers, and wedding planners who have been sued for refusing services to gay couples. However, they were harmed by the fact that there are laws against discrimination and denial of access to public accommodations. In addition, these same people would undoubtedly refused services and accommodations to same sex couples who wanted to celebrate a civil union, or just their commitment to each other. So the issue is not marriage itself.

You're a filthy, lying whore.
