Dissenting from this morning's opinion on the Defense of Marriage Act, Justice Antonin Scalia – as expected – holds nothing back. In a ripping dissent, Scalia says that Justice Anthony Kennedy and his colleagues in the majority have resorted to calling opponents of gay marriage "enemies of the human race."

them ore im tryign to udnerstand htis them ore confusing it’s getting-
Basically the surpeme court refuises to hear prop 8 stating basically that ‘the right parties are not here to defend the the case’ meanign hte gov, auttourney gen, and officer of records, all three who were neamed i nthe case, were not there because htey refused to go to court to defend prop 8 (accordign the Shannon Breem’s summary of the ruling)
What’s goign on? were thsoe three the oens that broguht up prop 8 in the first place, and now have backed off and won’t defend it? or where they the htree that were opposed to prop 8 and they refuse to go to court ot defend the state’s position that prop 8 is not legal? I thought they were opposed to the prop 8? Shannon made it soudn liek they were refusign to SUPPORT/DEFEND prop 8 and so the supreme court htrew out the case
When I first heard the issue, it soudned to me like basically, 1: the peopel voted bannign gay marriage, 2: the state overruled the people BUT refused to provide any defense for their rule in an appeals court, nor i nthe supreme court, and so neither higher court could legally hear the case because the astate refused to defend their ruling- so the peopel were just crap out of luck
I thought hmmm- I wonder if that’s how it works in real life- a criminal say robs a bank, refuses to show up to court to defend hismelf, and so the court can’t pass judgement on him because he’s not there- because that sounds exactly liek what the supreme court just said “Nope- can’t hear the case because the state officials refuse to be present- so back down to the district court ruling- too bad so sad for the peopel who votede for prop 8”
Someoen please help clarify- I think Shannon Breem is confusing hte issue by insinuating it was the state who didn’t show up IN DEFENSE OF prop 8- but my undertanding was that hte state was OPPOSED TO prop 8?
Is ‘enemies of the human race’ actually in the majority decision? Or is it a comment made by one of the majority members during conference?
What a mess.
Francisco’s Rule: “Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
Revolt is coming.
Pray for its spiritual conversion.
There’s nothing I’d like better than seceding from the degenerate, Obama-voting “fag marriage” blue states.
I can’t find the words to properly express my gratitude to Justice Scalia for this dissent.
It’s perfect.
I hear the muslims have some sort of a one day marriage to allow you to engage a prostitute or other one night stand and then dissolve the marriage in the morning.
I may be better at this point just dissolve all marriages . They're meaningless.
Can’t wait for Scalia to publish his autobiography.
The SCOTUS chapters are gonna be a real barnburner!
we can dream, but Snowden’s probably been contained.
There’s a silver lining to every cloud.
Now that homosexuals can marry each other, they will not pass their defective genes on to another generation of perverts, and at some point in the distant future their defective genes will hopefully disappear from our gene pool.
In other words, they’ll just bugger themselves into oblivion.
I am jonesin’ like a junkie for Snowden’s next release.
Thrashing and twitching, actually :)
That is why it is possible that America my simply break up along red states/blue states.
“...just bugger themselves into oblivion.” Well...I suppose when they can recruit new perverts through boy scouts, the church, schools and so forth, they might have a future...as perverted, immoral and demented as it is.
Don't worry. That will happen in the next two to three years.
In other news, the Justices also voted 5-4 to rewrite the Holy Bible.
Somehow I don’t think they’ll get away with that. It’ll probably take Der Leader’s executive order.
