Good article. There were many after the health care decision who tried to say it wasn’t what it was. That somehow it was brilliant...that somehow it was a win. These are losses, pure and simple.

As Scalia suggested, that opinion can now become the predicate for challenges to the laws on marriage in all of the States. A couple of the same sex need merely go into a federal court and invoke Justice Kennedy’s opinion in the DOMA case (U.S. v. Windsor): The Supreme Court has declared now that a law that refuses to recognize same-sex marriage is animated by a passion to demean and denigrate. Any such law cannot find a rational ground of justification. As Kennedy had famously said in Romer v. Evans, those kinds of laws can be explained only in terms of an irrational “animus.”

I think Roe vs. Wade can be explained only in terms of an irriational animus toward babies. It demeans and denigrates them. Therefore it is unconstitutional.

So there.
