During his breaking news coverage of the Supreme Court’s decision to hear four different cases challenging same-sex marriage bans in four different states this term — Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee — Fox News’ Shepard Smith compared the remaining resistance to marriage equality in this country to those who wanted to keep segregation intact during the Civil Rights Movement.
“Not in every case, but in most cases, the same states which were fighting integration are fighting this as well,” Smith said. “Those states which always seem to be behind the curve for reasons which are explainable and understandable. Those are the places where this is going to turn out to be the most difficult, especially if the Supreme Court stays with what has seemed to be a trend toward inclusion and away from discrimination.”
To the Wall Street Journal editor John Bussey’s assertion that “there’s still disagreement on this issue within the American population,” Smith replied, “There’s still disagreement on segregation.”
As Smith reported, by combining the four challenges to state bans on same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court could effectively legalize marriages in all 50 states with its ruling.

Yeah, TSUN.
Mississippi ping.
Lewis Grizzard’s Dr asked him before one of his heart surgeries if there were any hemophiliacs in his family.
Lewis said no but I had a second cousin I always wondered about. That how I feel about Ole Shep
Yep. It’s shep the sodomite.
Try D.C.
No problem Shit, erh, Shep.
Just have a bunchuh guys in black robes over ride the will of voters.
this is really offensive comparison. Gays can live together in every state in the union. They can acquire any job.
To equate who one has sex with with Jim Crow is desperate and shows gay rights advocates can’t form an intellectual opinion.
California voters voted for a ban on same sex marriage. It was overruled by the courts.
Note to Shep, California was not part of the Confederacy nor is it even remotely conservative. Shep needs a glass belt buckle so he can see where he is going when he has his head up his ass.
I keep asking the question. But then again, I reflexively turn away from FOX whenever either he or Geraldo comes on.
I haven’t watched TV news in years, I get all my news on FR
Yeah, but the populations of these states are totally different than they used to be, and these are two separate issues. So what’s this moron’s point?
Can’t help Shemp if he’s too stupid to know the difference.
Could Fox pay conservatives back for pressuring DISH, by letting Shep go to his favorite bath house, pay him off, send him to Turkey on assignment, give Faulkner his job or some other relief for those of us who used to like him.
Shep hasn’t died of AIDS yet?
Haven’t watched TV news in years, and he’s one of the “flaming” reasons!
I can’t believe this deviant still has an audience. Why doesn’t he just go off and start his own GayTV network?
Tennessee was the only segregated state in this bunch. KY integrated schools in 1946. Yep, I also heard ole’ Shep was a butt pirate.
Civil rights?
