Gay marriage: Supreme Court validates social reality, experience of most Americans

In knocking down the last remaining barriers to same-sex marriage in the United States, the Supreme Court announced a conclusion that, according to every measure of public opinion, a substantial majority of Americans have already reached: there is no longer any justification for denying the dignity and protections of civil marriage to gays and lesbians.

The decision is consistent with the American constitutional principle that government must provide strong justification – that is, it must point to serious and concrete harms – before it denies a fundamental liberty such as the right to marry. On this point, the arguments of the states that continued to deny marriage equality were tested in the crucible of litigation, and they were found lacking in evidence and logic.

Gay marriage: Supreme Court validates social reality, experience of most Americans

But it did not validate the Constitution, which is the Supreme Court's ONLY proper function.

Majority opinion in polls is no basis for the Supreme Court to make up new laws and rights.

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government have all rejected the rule of law while demanding that free citizens be subject to their man-made laws.

America will not be free again until these tyrants have been made a public example of for their treason.

Catholic Relief Services, which has one of the biggest adoption agencies in the world, will be ran out of business. They will not place a child with a faggot couple.

“If this article does not prove Fox News is in the tank with the sodomite nazis I don’t know what in the world does.”

They’re also always pushing the RINO candidates. Not only could I not justify spending any more money on a cable ‘package’, just so I could watch Fox News, while having to support the rest of the reprobate programing in that ‘package’, but Fox News pushes this crap, the same libtard agenda, but at a slower pace. I’m glad articles like this get posted here just so I can be reminded why I don’t pay for their propaganda.

The joke/excuse used to be “I only buy it for the articles” when a guy would buy a Playboy. With Fox News, I suppose a guy could use the excuse “I only watch it for the pretty news anchors, I don’t listen to what they say.”

I think it was Rush who discussed a poll indicating that a large number of Americans believe that homosexuality is far more prevalent than it actually is.

Check that Gallup poll.

Fox indulges in a bit of lunatic fantasy.

Well at least Shepard Smith had Friday off. The last thing anyone needed to see would be him with a big $hit eating grin. I think Roger Ailes was thilled that the Prison break story broke Friday. It was so obvious that he had the on air talent stick to this story so that they didn’t piss of their conservative viewers with happy newscasters on the gay marriage decision. Probably only Hannity would have bucked that trend.

A recent poll of college students revealed that 38% self identified as LGBT.

You can follow the link and see how Gallup came up with the 3.8% figure.

Half the time, college students don’t know if they’re coming or going.

When I was in college I changed my mind on stuff lots of times. Heterosexuality was NOT one of those things. /s
