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!

When conservatives have a "victory" to preserve the establishment, it never is a conclusive victory, it just sets up the next round of case challenges from the Left.

But when the Left wins, it is considered 'settled'.

And by establishment, I was referring the the construct of marriage.

In previous generations, the religious conservatives were pushing for the dignity of all men (in the abolition of slavery and in equality for black people), not preserving the institution of slavery.

The Supreme Court once upheld slavery as well.

And as a side note, it was anti-Catholic Democrat klansman in the 20th century who handed down the Supreme Court decision that established the so called separation of church and state (around 95% of all parochial schools were Catholic).
