It’s the first post-ruling poll I’ve seen in either case. There
wasn’t much mystery about where the public was on ObamaCare subsidies — “free†money! — but there was a little suspense around the SSM decision in light of this YouGov poll last week showing a plurality of the public opposed to having the Court decide the issue. That raised the question of whether a backlash might be brewing around process. Sure, Americans support gay marriage in principle, but what happens when the judiciary wrests that issue out of the states’ hands and settles it as a matter of...

After the Supreme Court issued its ruling on gay marriage Friday, President Obama gave a speech in which he said Americans need to change their religious views to be accepting of gay marriage, the Daily Caller reported. To
that end, he encouraged gay marriage supporters to "help” people overcome their deeply-held religious views.“I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue,” he said. Initially, he exhibited a bit of respect for those who oppose same-sex marriage. "Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs,” he said. “All...

Add the following to the "you will be made to care" stories Erick Erickson at RedState began to recognize several years ago. Those
who think that legalizing same-sex "marriage" won't affect them should have received a wake-up call on Tuesday during arguments at the Supreme Court over inventing a constitutional right for two people of the same sex to have such an arrangement. Most of them didn't get it, because, with only one exception I could find, the establishment press covering the proceedings perfectly understood the gravity of the discussion and its implications — and refused to report it, because...

Citing government statistics and offering warnings about the dangers of “gay” sex has one prominent doctor facing the possible loss of his job and what effectively could be a banishment from his work, and he’s not taking it without a fight. Dr.
Paul Church, a veteran urologist who has been on the staff of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for nearly 30 years, is appealing a board decision against him, and is planning for a hearing in July on his fight over his right to warn people that the facts prove “gay” sex is a dangerous lifestyle.

Ted Cruz: Marco Rubio should “grow a backbone”, “sounded like Barack Obama” on gay marriage

On Friday, Marxist collaborator Marco Rubio urged Americans to abide by the Supreme Court’s unconstitutional ruling… "We live in a republic and must abide by the law." Cruz’s
response: "You know what’s striking…how many of the presidential candidates today issued statements on the marriage decision that basically said that ‘the court has spoken, the issue is over, it’s time to move on’. They sounded like Barack Obama. It was heartbreaking, and I have to say, I look at some of these folks and I think, for once, could you grow a backbone!?"

Gay Marriage, Racism and Obamacare: The Challenge of Caring (barf alert)

My wife cried when she read the notice on her cell phone this morning that the Supreme Court had recognized the right of gay people to marry. She
told me the news in a choking voice, and I promptly cried and choked up as I reflected back the news to her. "So much needless suffering for so many years" she correctly said. I nodded, and appreciated once again my wife's good heart. We teared up at the news that Obamacare had withstood that latest round of attack and millions of people would now keep their health insurance. We teared up...

SC legalizes gay-marriage; “thunderbolt of justice” Obama says; Cruz-let voters remove justices

Stumping for president in northwest Iowa, Sen. Ted Cruz described the ruling as “the very definition of lawlessness” — the same epithet he applied a day earlier when the court affirmed Obamacare subsidies nationwide, even in states that, like Texas, refused to create their own insurance marketplace as contemplated in the text
of the law. “Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history,” Cruz told Fox radio host Sean Hannity. Both rulings, he said, were instances of “naked and shameless acts of judicial activism.” To curb judicial excess, Cruz proposed a constitutional amendment requiring justices to...

‘Court is not a legislature’: Roberts
rips gay marriage ruling, day after
he backed ObamaCare

| 6/26/15 | staff
A day after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sided squarely with the Obama administration on the health care overhaul, the same jurist came out swinging against the court´s ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. In
his dissenting opinion -- which he read from the bench for the first time in his nearly 10 years as chief justice -- Roberts charged Friday that the court had no right to intervene in what should be a democratic debate by the people, at the state level, over same-sex marriage. "This court is not a legislature," he wrote. "Whether same-sex marriage is a good...

President Barack Obama on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court decision to give same-sex couples the right to marry. In
a speech in the Rose Garden, Obama called the ruling justice "with a thunderbolt." The president acknowledged that many Americans have religious objections to the high-court decision.

Kenyan lawyer makes a fabulous offer for Malia Obama's hand in marriage

President Obama's 16 year old daughter Malia is one lucky teenager. A
lawyer in Kenya is offering to marry her "not for money, but for love." And to sweeten the pot, he will offer President Obama 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats for her. So far, the White House has had no comment as President Obama no doubt weighs the pros and cons of the offer. Sky News reports that Felix Kiprono told Kenya daily The Nairobian that he "got interested" in Malia in 2008. President Obama was then running for office for the first time and Malia was 10. Mr...
