Scalia said he didn’t understand Bonuato’s answer - nor did I.
She seemed to say that states would “rush in” to show a compelling interest against 3 or 4-party marriages. So why don’t states have a compelling interest to legislate on marriage between 2 homosexuals?
Exactly! Fact is, most states have passed marriage laws and anti-sodomy laws. The entire legal system is very myopic.
[[She seemed to say that states would “rush in” to show a compelling interest against 3 or 4-party marriages.]]
She went further by saying basically that because there would be so many people that disputes would arise as to who gets what I n the marriage, and she says that it would cause cases of coercion with one person or two forcing the other to do something against their will- basically-
It’s an asinine argument/answer- the first part of her answer is a LIE- states would NOT rush in now that DEVIANT sexual practices are now legal and rewarded with marriage- once you allow one DEVIANT lifestyle marriage, you then MUST allow all- you can NOT legislate4 from the bench and pick and choose which of the sexually deviant lifestyles you like and don’t like- These DEVIANT sexual acts of all kinds have been determined to be immoral and DEVIANT for a long long time now- and to now come along and say that one or two or several aren’t deviant is to declare from the bench that we the people don’t have a right to label something immoral that has been called immoral since the beginning of time
Her second part to her answer is just asinine- like coercion doesn’t happen in marriages with two people? Like squabbles don’t already happen? NEITHER of these explanations are relevant
This whole issues boils down to this basic question “Is Homosexual sex an unnatural act? If yes, then it is an immoral act, and immoral acts can not be allowed in marriage- period- IF you allow one immoral unnatural sexual persuasion, then you MUST allow them all
Alito tried to get the lawyer to explain why she would pick and choose which unnatural act should be allowed, and she danced all around the issue giving asinine ‘answers’
That’s why she was running away from Alito’s question. Because there is no answer. Polygamy will follow same sex marriage as sure as the four lawyers will chase the ambulance.
