BUMP
I agree 100%
What I think is a very important, timely piece, published by my brilliant and lovely wife today.
Bkmk
Yep. They call it “dicta”. It is of no legal consequence.
How exactly do you figure this qualifies as “News”?
Jeez. Just looking at this snippet shows what complete garbage this decision was. It had no basis anywhere in law or precedence. Just made up out of thin air. With a few paragraphs the entire history and purpose of marriage is erased within the borders of the US.
The only place the courts had any jurisdiction whatsoever was to discuss the contractual aspects of marriage. Tax policy, contractual rights, social security rights, etc. The court would be perfectly in it’s means to interpret that any two people could share the same policies and privileges provided to married couples. They had absolutely no ability to redefine it in this way.
You know I don’t say this to you very often, but you’re 100% correct!
Love your post. I do not often bookmark a post, but this one i’m keeping.
You know what they say about Supreme Court opinions. They’re like ......, everybody’s got one.
Nicely done!
Thank you for referencing that article EternalVigilance. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
The author of the referenced article inadvertently overlooks that, where low-information citizens are concerned, citizens who have evidently never been taught the difference between legislative and judicial powers, that activist justices / judges can easily get away with making “laws” from the bench.
Also note that the Founding States gave Congress the specific power to remove from the bench justices and judges who legislate from the bench. The problem is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate now refuses to protect the states as the Founding States had intended for it to do. Instead, the corrupt Senate harms the states by refusing to work with the House to impeach and remove Constitution-ignoring judges and justices from the bench.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and the activist justices that they confirm to the bench who legislate from the bench as well.
So, all of those rulings upholding the second amendment attacks are not enforceable?
At some point you either believe in the American way of life or you do not. Judicial review has been a rule here sine the earliest 1800s.
So, we’re they wrong then, or are they wrong now?
If Federal Code is meticulous then what about all that talk bozo used to change aspects of obozo care? Does any of THAT show up in the code?
Thank you for posting this EV. Whenever I mention the fact that no law has been changed, I get blank stares. I never thought to show an actual ruling which states right at the top that it is an opinion. There will be some heads exploding soon.

Most of the "landmark" cases of the first hundred and fifty years of our Republic are now seen as horrible. Here are a few of the highlights:
1. Marbury v. Madison: schools make this out to be a work of brilliance. In reality, it was SCOTUS usurping power that they were NEVER granted and NEVER intended to have.
2. Dred Scott
3. Civil Rights Cases of 1883
4. Plessy v. Ferguson
5. Buck v. Bell
In reality it wasn't until Brown v. Board of Education that the Court made a landmark ruling that everyone today can agree was right and there have been precious few since then.
When the Supreme Court rejects 5000 years of precedent, the court has left its role as neutral arbiter and has joined in the rush to destroy American Civilization.
This was an OPINION. They did not re-write the laws of the States. The laws of the various states which define marriage as an institution based on the union of one man and one woman are still on the books. The States should either ignore this ruling altogether (Like the EPA and Obama do all the time) or they should refuse to issue any marriage licenses at all.
If the Decision in Obergefell stands, then the institution of Marriage no longer exists. It must not stand. We must rebel against judical tyrannty.
