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 consensusjust as hed 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 valueseven 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 todays 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.

Well we no longer have to fear the Congress or the Supreme court on this issue. We now have to fear God. The Shemitah is coming.
Patrick Henry was “treasonous” against the tyranny of King George III. “Treason” can be a good thing. BTW, I love Cincinnati.
The acts of judicial fraud committed at the Supreme Court this week indicate that those who made the majority decisions are in fact judicial terrorists whose attacks on the Constitution should be considered an act of war.
One could come up with a plausible BS story on the homo marriage decision.
But to decide the Congress did not mean what it wrote, plainly and clearly is beyond the pale.
For that reason I pray each night that I will be their hangman.
Treason and abuse of power has been on display this week in both the Obamacare ruling and even more so in the SSM ruling. If a Cop just does what he likes on the street regardless of the law these leftists rightly (where it isn’t a fabrication of their race baiting) protest rightly but if it is a handful of mostly White liberal lawyers inserting a right into the Constitution that they know damn well doesn’t exist and has never even remotely existed is even worse in my book than a rouge cop abusing his position because they are asserting themselves as kings and tyrants over us all where the COP is only acting as a local individual and his abuse is limited where as the abuse hefted on us by the Supreme Court this week is universal. The decisions on Obamacare where there was no doubt what the law said but instead the Court rewrote the law to save it is outlandish and the SSM ruling is the peak of tyrannical abuse because it just made shit up. Governors should nullify this and if it were me I’d ask the legislature to draft a warrant for the arrest of these justices. We need to put a stop to this and not by stacking the court and ramming through our own unconstitutional rulings to undo their unconstitutional rulings. If they can’t play by the rules we need to make them bear the cost of their abuse of power.
I wonder if the Daily Beastiality pitched a fit about the dissents in Bush v. Gore? Something tells me ‘unity’ in the wake of a very contentious presidential election didn’t occur to them back then.
Especially if he or she only believes in cat marriage.
It is the putsch nature of the thing... he proves the very thing he supposedly set out to refute.
This is not about standards, unless they are double.
It’s about Tread Down His Opponents At All Costs.
Skip that.
I’ll give em a bone... (double entendre)
LOL
Treason? That’s just ridiculous.
TREASON is having a muslim president who aids and abets the enemy.
I don’t bow down to Anthony Kennedy or any of the anti-God liberals that gave the country queer “marriage”. They will all have to answer to God in the end and I would love to be a fly on the wall when they try to explain why they spit in his face.
You would think these leftwingers would be happy. But it is not about the gays and their pretend marriages, the confederate flag, trannies etc. It is about sticking it to Conservatives. This is the kind of people we are dealing with. We have NOTHING in common with them.
Who is the granddaughter, or great granddaughter, of President Hoover.
We all know that had it been 5-4 in reverse, the dissents of Breyer/Kagan/Ginsburg/Sotomayer would have been gracious, kindly and gently worded love letters, with nary a scintilla of invective or denunciation of the majority. No, sir!
A shame you have to explain Patrick Henry’s treason. Recommrnd reading
“Common Sense” to your critic.
The Left writes these articles and thinks their will be no consequences to their words and actions. So far their has not been, but if they push into guns or religion their will be.
“If this be treason, make the most of it.
I always thought it was nine people in black robes.
