Justice Roberts likes this toxic sludge. No need for blackmail on this one.

Bush 41 appointee Kennedy wrote the majority opinion. The rot started with Reagan’s selection of Bush 41 as his running mate. And now we’re being told we need to elect yet another Bush.

There is a high probability that the continuation of Bush 41's term would have resulted in Judges more conservative than the Clinton Appointees, but you are absolutely right.

Reagan's biggest mistake ever was clasping that moderate and clueless snake to his bosom.

Once more, we decent people would like to thank all of you supporters of the Federal Leviathan's supremacy established by the Civil war, and the inevitable and predictable consequences created thereby.

And once more we see the irrational attempt of the lost causers to blame Lincoln for everything up to and including a cloudy day.

Good job, DiogenesLamp.

No go off an enjoy your Lincoln-driven bad dreams.

Well, it’s official now, we finally have a state
religion.

This violation of the first amendment marks the
beginning of the end of our constitutional republic.

Fatal blow to Christianity and the U.S. military. Queers rule America. Game over.

“I’d Love To Change The World”

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
‘Til there are no rich no more

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

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, it means that only the State can issue civil union licenses. Not the church.

Marriage isn’t killable based on whatever impossibility the state happens to use at any one time.

“Nevertheless, the naturalists,(32) as well as all who profess that they worship above all things the divinity of the State, and strive to disturb whole communities with such wicked doctrines, cannot escape the charge of delusion. Marriage has God for its Author, and was from the very beginning a kind of foreshadowing of the Incarnation of His Son; and therefore there abides in it a something holy and religious; not extraneous, but innate; not derived from men, but implanted by nature. Innocent III, therefore, and Honorius III, our predecessors, affirmed not falsely nor rashly that a sacrament of marriage existed ever amongst the faithful and unbelievers.(33) We call to witness the monuments of antiquity, as also the manners and customs of those people who, being the most civilized, had the greatest knowledge of law and equity. In the minds of all of them it was a fixed and foregone conclusion that, when marriage was thought of, it was thought of as conjoined with religion and holiness. Hence, among those, marriages were commonly celebrated with religious ceremonies, under the authority of pontiffs, and with the ministry of priests. So mighty, even in the souls ignorant of heavenly doctrine, was the force of nature, of the remembrance of their origin, and of the conscience of the human race. As, then, marriage is holy by its own power, in its own nature, and of itself, it ought not to be regulated and administered by the will of civil rulers, but by the divine authority of the Church, which alone in sacred matters professes the office of teaching.”

—Pope Leo XIII, 1880

Which side was Roberts on?

Five to four decision. Kennedy wrote the opinion. Could Roberts have been on the right side for a change?

States simply need, now more than ever, to get out of the marriage business. Period.

And this is the encyclical reference I use for believing that the state needs to be out of the marriage business. Now.
