Holding: Fourteenth Amendment requires a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex.
5-4 decision
JOHN ROBERTS ON GAY RULING:
‘If you are among the many Americans—of whatever sexual orientation—who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not Celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it’
That's how I would read it to polygamy and possibly incestuous marriages. I don't think you'd be able to marry your dog, however, as they can't grant consent.
A farmer should be able to marry all his animals and claim them as dependents as a mockery of this decision (not for beastual relations).
We should protest within the law how ever we can.
as exepected...off the table for 2016. Anyone who touches this issue now will be toxic.
I ‘love’ your truck too, so let’s have a 3some! HEY! I know, I will bring my truck, and we can all get hitched. It will be a swingin’ good time of lubed up muffler bearings, tailpipes, and knipling pins.
Hard for me to keep my tagline at this point.
But there’s still prayer. That’s about the only thing remaining.
They will pick you off one by one and delight in destroying, jailing and killing, if necessary, any remaining opponents. Only strength is in mass numbers and a withdrawal of the consent of the governed. There are no signs of such organized and mass opposition.
Quite surprising, for him to say that.
These gay fascists will find out on The Last Day how wrong they are and the judgment for their abominable so-called lifestyle.
Christian Leadership already said they will not honor this decision......
Dozens of Christians leaders including Dr. James Dobson, Franklin Graham, The American Family Association’s Don and Tim Wildmon, and Dr. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas. ....Wrote the Scotus warned that they would NOT honor any ruling that changes the definition of marriage.
“We are prepared to endure fines from the government and even loss of tax-exempt status if necessary to uphold our religious beliefs,”.... “And I believe every religious leader is going to have to make a decision at some point whether they’re going to obey God or government.”

You know the GOPe is popping champagne.
You can’t even be angry anymore just overwhelmingly sad. Leftism is like a poison gas that slowly seeps in around your doors and windows until it kills you.
Yes.
Been expecting this for several years now, but it’s finally arrived. I truly no longer have any interest in the preservation of the republic. I welcome its death and demise.
Totally changes the equation for me, in so many ways.
Oh, wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,. That has such people in ‘t! : MIRANDA, Shakespeare: The Tempest: Act 5, Scene 1, Page 9
“Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not Celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.” ......Chief Justice Roberts
Wish he’d thought of celebrating the Constitution yesterday.
Scalia’s dissent says this is no democracy and that we’re ruled by 9 people in robes who aren’t anything like us.
He says this is worse than the “taxation without representation” of colonial times that was one of the justifications for rebellion.
No suprise. If they cannot read the words of a law and interpret it correctly, they certainly won’t read the words of the BIBLE correctly.
Yep
Are you saying it wasn’t wicked for legalized abortion?
