Actually, he is upset that a federal appeals court announced that the 1964 Civil Rights Act doesn't apply to sexual orientation, only sex. He's losing it because that distinction was just formally set as a new precedent. He knows the USSC can't rewrite the Act, only Congress can. So what he knows now is, that in order for sexual orientation to finally get the stamp of "class" cemented, the US Supreme Court will have to perform the duties of the legislative branch...failing that, Congress will have to debate the matter and amend the Act to reflect a new category based on behaviors...just some but not others the majority also objects to...
Why would I be upset? The ruling was correct as the Civil Rights Act doesn't mention sexual orientation. Keep beating that straw man, ding dong.
So, rabid defender of Obergefell....how do you think that precedent will affect future challenges to Obergefell? Because as you know...they're coming. It's not just me saying that either. The pro-family groups are gearing up.
It won't affect Obergefell in the least. Who cares what pro-family groups are gearing up for? They (and you) can piss and moan until the cows come home about gay marriage, but it hasn't made a lick of difference. Besides, none, what standing would they even have before the court?
Hell, even the GOP removed the marriage amendment from their platform this year. Only you and a small handful of other idiots believe gay marriage is going to be overturned.
All it takes is one successful challenge. Just one. And as to standing, you can close your eyes and throw a stone. As I said, two Justices were not allowed to preside over Obergefell.. So on that point alone it has to be reheard at the very least since it was a mistrial. Any citizen of any state, or state AG would have standing to challenge the case on Caperton v Massey Coal (2009).
If not that, a child raised in a gay marriage could come forward and challenge Obergefell for forcing the legal disenfranchisement of them from knowing either the missing mother or missing father they could not bond with because of "gay marriage". They could force a re-hearing at least because children like them had no representation at Obergefell for their de facto implied interest in the marriage contract. Contracts involving children cannot be revised to childrens' detriment. There's your standing.
