Justice Anthony Kennedy, as expected, was the deciding vote and wrote the majority opinion. No state now has the right to define what marriage is.
Just coming in, but we know it’s a 5-4 ruling, and it’s not limited in scope. Gay marriage is now the law in all 50 states - not because state legislators or voters approved it; in fact, many did just the opposite - but because the Supreme Court has invented a new right every bit as blatantly as it did in Roe v. Wade.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, as expected, was the deciding vote and wrote the majority opinion. No state now has the right to define what marriage is.
Here is a passage from the dissent, written by Chief Justice Roberts:
Although the policy arguments for extending marriage to same-sex couples may be compelling, the legal arguments for requiring such an extension are not. The fundamental right to marry does not include a right to make a State change its definition of marriage. And a State’s decision to maintain the meaning of marriage that has persisted in every culture throughout human history can hardly be called irrational. In short, our Constitution does not enact any one theory of marriage. The people of a State are free to expand marriage to include same-sex couples, or to retain the historic definition.
I don’t believe “Justice” Roberts understands what a state is. I’m not sure who wrote the dissent, but it wasn’t he.
Clearly the majority (not just the one in this decision) of the SCOTUS justices don’t take their oaths seriously, whether in regard to following the Constitution or impartiality.
We may get the Presidency next year; I think Hillary is quite beatable. There isn't the slightest chance that the liberals on the Supreme Court will be impeached, though.
Roberts’ almost certainly sided with the dissenters on the homosexual marriage thing ONLY because he knew the other side had the votes to swing it obozo’s way.
And WHY would he do that after saving obozocare TWICE? Here’s a really good reason:
Speculation is rife that obama and his minions KNOW that the Chief Justice VIOLATED THE ADOPTION LAWS OF IRELAND and have used the threat of public disclosure of that to secure FAVORABLE RULINGS from him and those on the court over whom he has some influence. The first such was their ludicrous ruling that Obamacare penalties were a TAX. And the second occurred today, when the court TOTALLY IGNORED THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACA to rule as it did. That tortured ruling has caused numerous legal commentators — Judge Napolitano among them — to opine that words no longer have meanings.
While his brutal murder of the supreme organic law of America goes unnoticed by the leftist (aka “COMMUNIST”) media, how unseemly would it be to have the CJ of the SCOTUS known as a common scofflaw?
I guess everyone has a price.
Welcome to 1984 and NEWSPEAK!

Hopefully Ginsberg will Croak after Obama leaves and We can get a Conservative in there.
How about impeach all of them and start from scratch?
What’s next?
Marriage between humans and animals,
Legalized pedophilia (they have already forced The Boy Scouts to accept gays and gay scout leaders).
Legalization of incest.
With this bunch of pervs. on the SCOTUS, nothing is safe anymore.
What’s next, will it be OK to marry my 8 yr. old grand daughter or in their thinking, maybe a grandson? When I leave this dimension, I’ll leave what became a topsy turvy world.
Control the media, education, and pop culture and you can create any kind of “change” you want. Here’s proof.
SCOTUS upheld abortion once. It didn’t mean I could force any doctor to perform an abortion.
Why us there an assumption this ruling means, “Bake the cake!”
its a problem larger than you imagine.
We have illiterate cocksuckers creating the law.
They know about cocksucking, but nothing about the english language, the derivation and history of words. Marriage has a specific meaning, purpose and definition.
The gay event has nothing to do with who we are nor the concept of marriage. It is a new event with a new union they want legalized. Then they want the same rights as if they were married.
People in those high positions should have some knowledge and common sense.... however when the commonsense fails.... then we get shit.
Right now? We are on the wrong end of the shovel. Worst part?
With decisions like that, the west is doomed.
Time to push the reset button and start over. We really haven’t had a constitution that has been followed as law since at least FDR. And this just finishes completely.
Constitution convention. Call the states together, let’s get started.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
....
never saw this coming.
oh wait... i did.
next up:
biff & bob will demand a priest perform their wedding. they’ll be denied and take it to the SCOTUS... where the court will rule the church is a private organization and can discriminate if it wants. at which point... they’ll turn to the federal govt and demand the fed stop supporting the discriminatory organization... and remove it’s tax free status.
overnight, 70-80% of churches will collapse under financial pressure.
stated this more then 10 years ago as the desired outcome after the boy scouts ruling.
It'll be illegal hate speech to claim that two men can't get pregnant. It'll be illegal discrimination for single men to refuse to date other men. Buying a dress for your daughter will cause the state to take your daughter away (and give her to a gay couple). The bible will be banned as hate speech.
The only upside is that when the Muzzies start taking over our towns and cities, they will be able to easily round up the gays by simply referring to the marriage records at city hall.
There is no grounds to deny it. Everything goes! Like what book of morality will they cite to say it is wrong!
Here is the future, people. Do not watch this if you have a weak stomach, especially today.

Stan/Loretta: I want to have babies.
Reg: You want to have babies?!?!
Stan/Loretta: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But ... you can't HAVE babies!
Stan/Loretta: Don't you oppress me!
Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus gonna gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?
Just wait... The homosexual divorce rate will be epic.
Yeah right, a conservative.
