Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday wrote a fiery dissent in response to the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry.

Next step: a vacancy on the Supreme Court.
A Black nominee, very left-wing nominee.
Republicans who resist or question his (or her) confirmation will be instantly condemned as racists. The MSM will go ape with this story line.
This decision is just the US Supreme Court mortician(s) embalming the corpse of our founding morality. It has been perverted and diverted beyond all recognition for socialism, capricious government and deviancy.
The left is going nutso over Thomas’ dissent calling him “Uncle Tom on steroids”. I hope he has good home security.
Thomas is a brilliant man. Since the court has already given itself over to being a legislative branch, I wonder if Thomas would like to be our presidential candidate. Wouldn’t that be awesome? He probably would want nothing to do with it after that horrible lynching he got during his court confirmation.
They hate it because it is so coherent and so full of truth.
From his dissent:
The corollary of that principle is that human dignity cannot be taken away by the government. Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits. The government cannot bestow dignity, and it cannot take it away.
Thomas went on to write that one’s liberty and dignity should be shielded from the government not provided by it.
“Todays decision casts that truth aside. In its haste to reach a desired result, the majority misapplies a clause focused on ‘due process’ to afford substantive rights, disregards the most plausible understanding of the ‘liberty’ protected by that clause, and distorts the principles on which this Nation was founded. Its decision will have inestimable consequences for our Constitution and our society,” Thomas wrote in conclusion.
For all their hatred of White males, whenever someone who isn’t a White male dares to be a conservative they really take vicious hate to new levels.
We are done folks...This once great nation is sliding further into the toilet with every screwed up ruling by this kangaroo court. We are not far from becoming a third world nation.
That’s how I’m feeling at the moment. No need to try to convince me otherwise. I mourn for this country.
Yes they do. But just like blacks can’t be racist, liberals can’t be haters. Or so their dogma teaches.
It’s time we just set up a shadow government.
I wonder if this decision might cause some red states to start eliminate all state-sanctioning of marriage. I would like to see a movement in this direction. It is the most reasonable response to an “un-defining” of marriage. If marriage no longer has a definition, why even try to sanction it?
At least two states were moving along that track before this ruling was announced.
Luke 17:1
Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come”.
Such as all those proponents of pervert marriage which will cause many to stumble and teach others its ok to do so. When Jesus tells them ‘woe to you’— look out.
They expose their racism by doing so.
In a banana republic pirate law is the only real law.
I see what you did there.
Yep....Ginsburg will probably be stepping down before Obozo’s term is up. With the current republicans in congress...a liberal is pretty much a sure bet.
People need to push the lefts button by commenting on any left wing site they visit that the Supreme Court has ruled black are homos and homos are black.
