Daily Beast: Same-Sex Marriage Dissenting Supremes Pushing ‘Treason’
Breitbart ^ | June 27, 2015 | Breitbart News

From Jay Michaelson writing at the Daily Beast: 

In controversial cases, is the role of jurist to inflame controversy, or quell it?

In Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 case which found race-based marriage bands unconstitutional, Chief Justice Earl Warren built a 9-0 consensus—just as he’d done years earlier in Brown vs. Board of Education. He knew that a country divided by race ought to be united, if possible, by a Supreme Court mindful of fundamental values—even if the Court was, as the constitution requires, overturning the will of the majority.

The four dissents in the landmark case on same-sex marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges, one by each of the conservative justices on today’s Supreme Court, take a very different view. With invective and hyperbole, they pour fuel on the fire of the controversy over same-sex marriage. Rather than merely state their views and disagreements, they use heated language to accuse the five-person majority of imperialism, a “putsch,” and worse.

this behavior will fall into the same category as:

swingers (wife swappers)
adultery
leather fetishists
masochists
sadists

and other the other sex behaviors that are not normal...

Hmm. The difference in the two issues: men born with brown skin vs men who choose to stick their penises in another man's rear.

End the SCOTUS it empowers egomaniac lawyers for life with no accountability to or consent the governed.

When you have six illiterate morons dressing in black robes and making up their own laws and accountable to no-one on earth, it is a bit hard to expect agreement.

This nation is sick unto death. When perversion is celebrated in the streets, it’s time to abandon this ship of fools.

How tolerant the left. No arguments. Just insults and accusations.

Claptrap! Loving did not alter the meaning of “marriage”.

Any opposition to liberal ideolgy is treason to fringe lunatic liberals.
Their ultimate goal is complete destruction to the opposition.

One was specifically covered by the Constitution. The other was not, regardless of what the far leftist re-writers think.

The author is too ignorant and uneducated to know the difference.

The writer of this article is also not just ignorant but alot closer to treasonous conduct than the dissent. Suggesting that judicial dissenters are “treasonous” while rewriters of the Constitution are heroes, shows this idiot is not just a dumbass but is a danger to freedoms, including the press. If anyone needs to be committed, it’s this traitor.

GTH you wimpy little bastard.

Blah, blah, blah, the Beast is what it is, and dissent is apparently no longer patriotism. We can remind them of that argument next time they offer a dissenting point of view, but they won't remember what they said before or think it's even important. In that latter, they'll be correct.
