By what authority does the USSC declare that “same-sex couples may exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States.” Be specific.
Good question.
The wonderful elastic amendment number 14, section 1, “equal protection.” See “abortion on demand.”
By the authority of the violence at its command and the absolute refusal of the other branches of government to exercise the checks and balances against it, and the repeated certification of this behavior by voters who vote the same idiots into Congress every single election cycle at a rate of 95% or more.
This country chucked “Rule of Law” in the garbage long ago, so now we have the rule of violence.
Having spent decades trying to get people to recognize the importance of the rule of law and failing against every tide of mob passion that has washed over the country since, all I can do at this situation is shake my head at the insanity demonstrated by everyone involved. People often assume that in a conflict one party is right and the other is wrong, and never consider that both parties are wrong.
I know you didn't ask me, but much of it comes from the 14th amendment. A horrible screw up if there ever was one. It is the source for much abuse in our judiciary nowadays.
