> It looks like the Supreme Court majority was so devoid of any analytic thought
From Obergefell:
“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
Have you ever heard such mush?
By the way, the Constitution does not grant rights.
Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan have brought disrepute on the court. They should be impeached.
Thanks for posting that. I hadn’t read it. What a lot of emotionally mired lies.
“Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness”.
If they are lonely, it is not because they were denied marriage. That’s a clear fallacy of debate and should have been called out.
All we want to deny them is the sanction of marriage that is defined by its possibility to procreate and raise children. We want to deny that to two people who were created to be resounding and irrevocably sterile with each other. They have redundant sex organs. If God had wanted them to be married, He would have given them two sets of fully functional organ systems. He didn’t. Or, if some people prefer, they didn’t “evolve” that way. Even Nature is sending a clear message that marriage under such circumstances is a farce.
They can live together their whole lives if they want and have a civil union in some cases. Fine. Just no marriage because of the natural progression to parenthood. They should not raise kids. They screw them up.
That whole court case reeks of ulterior motive and the activist supreme court jesters were quick to take advantage of the path it opened for them.
