Justice Antonin Scalia is chastising the Supreme Courts landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage on Friday as an affront to the principle of democratic rule.
Scalia argues in his opinion that the court is increasingly creating policy rather than serving as a neutral arbiter.
Todays decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court, he writes.
This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.

Sounds Tribal.....
How do you know that?
Gays don’t want Democratic rule anyway.
Marriage is now meaningless except to enrich attorneys on the front and back ends.
I’ve read it many times, and I think they’ve commented on it frequently. They socialize together.
After the events of this week, I think I will go rice farming in a country with more ethical protections.

They are a disgrace, shoving their godless, leftist ideology down our throats, acting like demi-legislators. I also blame those who confirmed these three witches.

"She's a really good textualist," Scalia said during a joint appearance last year.
Could it be that the people of America are those who need the attitude adjustment...
We venerated our institutions so much that we were blind and made excuses as they began to become looey.
Well now that we are firmly in Cloud Cuckoo Land, that is no longer plausible.
If we want something to worship, the real God is just going to have to do. No more civic religion.

I fantasize a Reign of Terror against the Left that would make the French Revolution pale in comparison.

No, Jan. This says Sodomites and their supporters are our rulers.
Amen. And may He curse the other 6 for going against His Holy Word. That may sound harsh, but people we're talking about the survival of the US and He condemns homosexual acts in many places in His inspired Word. He loves the sinner, but it's just as true that He hates the sin and there are numerous passages of scripture in which He condemns homosexual acts as sin. If He doesn't hate homosexual acts why did He destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and all the homosexuals in those cities with fire from the heavens?
Will He destroy the US because of our rulers' advocacy of homosexual sin as a Constitutional "right"? He probably won't have to, our overlords in the DC are doing a pretty good job of that by themselves.

Very nice! I wish there were a new land we could colonize. But then the natives would find out about “white privilege” and then we would have to move again...;-(
Okay, thanks.
I was making some phone calls to see if anyone had heard what the nature of Judge Scalia’s relationship is with Justice Ginsberg.
Being Friday evening at the end of June, nobody’s around - the office doors are closed and the secretary put the phone on voice mail.
Oh well. I’ll take your word for it anyway. You seem to have a pretty good handle on the situation. Thanks again.
