Justice Clarence Thomas agreed in his dissent:
"Had the majority allowed the definition of marriage to be left to the political process—as the Constitution requires—the People could have considered the religious liberty implications of deviating from the traditional definition as part of their deliberative process. Instead, the majority’s decision short-circuits that process, with potentially ruinous consequences for religious liberty."

Gay rights uber alles.

So, according to kennedy, it is still okay to “think” SSM is evil?

[Arm_Bears]

Laws don’t mean what they say, so the Court’s ruling on gay “marriage” really doesn’t matter.

[WayneS]

So the question becomes: How will gay rights and religious rights be balanced?

How do you THINK they'll be "balanced"?

Anthony Kennedy proved to be the ultimate legacy of Ronald Reagan. But Coolidge had his Harlan Fiske Stone, Charles I his Cromwell, and Caesar his Brutus.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Saying they are not disparaged doesn’t make it so. It ignores the reality of what is already happening. It ignores that the Obama admin. has already said it will go after tax exempt status of dissenters.

Kennedy’s words are self-cover. He knows that but he did not wish to put it in writing. It is in the “penumbra” of his ruling that religion will be disparaged and treated as hate speech. Kennedy just does not care.

We are on a collision course with the forces of evil.

A more significant issue for society as a whole than gays getting married is non-gays not getting married. The SCOTUS ruling represents the pimple on the top of the big malignant tumor.

‘Decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises, and neither they nor their beliefs are disparaged here’

So, they are going to do what they have been doing anyway. They will tell you that you are not acting out of religious or philosophical conscience so you must buckle under to their demands. The Left will now decide if you are ‘religious enough’ or have enough of a conscience in your belief. And you KNOW they will always decide, as they have in the past, that you have NO CONSCIENCE if you disagree with them. We're not stupid like they think we are. We see through them with crystal clarity.

It's time to kneel down and pray for our nation

The perverts on the SCOTUS gave America’s perverts a victory. In the near future they will recognize marriage between adults and animals. We have given this country and culture away. Pity our children and grandchildren.

Polygamy by year’s end. There is nothing to stop it and Sharia law wants it.
