Any conceivable combination that can benefit from the status of “marriage” will now have a claim upon the term, according the this fascist court.

“That’s OK. The country is going to dissolve itself. States outside of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, rust belt and Pacific coast won’t stand for this. The south, Texas, and most of the Midwest and Mountain West are going to go there own way sooner or later. At least then we’ll have someplace to go.”

We already moved to the south, in anticipation of CWII.

California isn’t going anywhere, except further to the political left, and Texas in middle school is very different from Texas today. Don’t count on divine intervention to get us out of a mess born of our own inaction.

I was born and raised in Texas. I’m surprised she hasn’t switched to blue ling before now. Hearing English us a rare treat in many places.

I’d suggest everyone flee the border states. When CWII commences, the 3rd world illegals will have carte blanche to do anything they want.

The irony is that the system was designed with balancing branches of government. Our founding fathers knew that one individual, be it a king, czar, dictator, whatever, was not wise enough, benevolent enough, to rule single handedly. So they gave us the three branches of govt so as to hold each other in check.

What they did not see was that with our system of government, given enough time, it would be possible for the country to fall into the hands of evil people anyway. It's almost as if a satanic mastermind orchestrated our descent into madness. It's almost as if this mastermind gained control of every powerful influence in America. (Entertainment, education, government, the courts.) Almost.

I disagree. Conservatives can very well run the Republican party. The problem is that the Republican party was hijacked by liberals (Jorge Busho and company), libertarians (who flooded our party because they had no viable party of their own), and liberals who realized we were the party of freedom. The problem with liberals is that they only want the freedoms they want, and that’s not freedom. That’s legalism.

California isn’t going anywhere,

Watch Mt. Rainier in Washington state. It'll signal the break up of America.
California is going to fall into the ocean. In fact, the land will disappear all the way back to Nevada. There will be three breaks spread out over time to allow for repentance, but the people will not repent.
There's going to be a cleansing. All heavily liberal areas will be cleansed, including the southern and eastern seaboards (and all those people and areas with the same totalitarian mindsets around the globe).
The whole world will once again be able to live in peace once those who believe only they can sit on the throne and rule the world through sin and chaos are gone.
Nature and natures God demands order and balance. Those with the liberal mindset are considered a disease to nature. Nature and natures God will cleanse the world of this plague. You can bet your eternal soul on it.

Diabolical forces are eternal, and they exist. They're formidable, because they have access to powerful minds that ignorantly or selfishly invite them in.

There shouldn’t be any lawyers on the supreme court. Only (real) constitutional scholars should be allowed to be appointed.

The name of the evil mastermind is what is key.

His name is Man.

And what makes him evil is his desire to impose his will on other men.

I don’t think that we are going to be able to escape the dark side of our own species.

Conservatives can run the Republican Party? Sure anything is possible I suppose. I am commenting on your use of the term “we”. Who is “we”? Conservatives have no power and are unable to even replace RINO leaders in the Republican party. So your comment that “we” should remake the entire country is sort of irrelevant until “we” conservatives have the power to do so.

I have no idea what you are talking about. :-) Power matters. Until conservatives have power and can use their power to enact change this is all interesting academic discussion on a message board

Bad idea! Justice James Clark McReynolds resigned (took senior status) in 1941 when he was the very last of the great Four Horsemen (Vandevanter, Butler and Sutherland had been the others) on the SCOTUS. His resignation did not roll back the New Deal.

Thank you Justice Scalia for saying what we all are thinking.

This once great country of ours has now joined the rest of the world for a one-way trip to hell. And this is only the beginning. I can’t imagine what it will be like 10 years from now. God Help Us.

Is there a reason not to immediately push for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman?

To what end? The court has blatantly ignored the constitution, not just with the last 2 cases, but back to Roe v. Wade. They would just ignore your new amendment.

>>Fundamental Transformation, complete.<<

I’m afraid this is not true. Obozo still has another 17 months left in office.

Gun control is coming. Not sure in what form, but Obozo is not going to let this last shooting go to waste.

I’m not just saying this to post...I feel it in my gut.

Irrelevant, the game is over. Obama has done exactly what he was hired to do, he has taken down America. Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the most devastating, well-planned terrorist attack to ever strike American soil. The only mystery that remains, is, who is he and who does he work for........ the Islamic terrorists, communists, or satan?

They hit our financial sector with international manipulation weeks before he was elected, to assure his election. The financial takeover commenced, banking, manufacturing, healthcare and just this week, trade. The social takeover is just about completed, media, military, open borders, same sex marriage, legalization of marijuana, racial conflict. The last shoe to drop will be the 2nd amendment, and that will be a snap, because while we have been sleeping, I suspect there is a domestic army already in place.
