Supreme Court Issues Ruling On Same Sex Marriage Legalizing Marriage Nat.

[Blair]

JCl is just being a bitter old fool.

I'm surprised about Carson, and more so about Walker

[Gass3268]

What conflict of interest?

There was none. Officiating a gay marriage were it is legal is not a conflict of interest.

[Simfan34]

This issue is not settled. 4-3 Traditional marriage wins because the advocates of marriage supremacy (gay marriage) have no honor in recusing over conflict of interest.

But that's not what the verdict was.

[CapoteMonster]

I think Santorum has gone into a permanent depression.

If he's smart to his own mental health, he'll simply call in sick today and stop campaigning forever.

I would imagine Conservative backlash was equally severe in 1968 against Loving v Virginia and in 1954 against Brown v Board.

America rightly mocks opposition to school desegregation and supporting inter racial marriage bans. I suspect history will also paint Conservatives today in a bad light.

[DS0816]

How does this affect the 2016 race?

If you're referring to backlash … Well, if the Republicans think only the voting-age groups of 45-64 and 65-plus will be voting for U.S. president in 2016 (and, say, the next two election cycles) … they can go ahead with that and see how it works out for them.

This issue is not settled. 4-3 Traditional marriage wins because the advocates of marriage supremacy (gay marriage) have no honor in recusing over conflict of interest.

In that case the vote is 1-0 in favor of marriage equality as everyone besides Kagan has had a heterosexual marriage, creating a conflict of interest.

Incorrect.

[pbrower2a]

U.S. is finished

Anyway, it's definitely going to become an issue in the campaign in that candidates will have to pledge to nominate only those that will strike down gay marriage and Obamacare. Of course, the vast majority of those people are impossible to confirm, but the base won't care.

Both losing propositions for 2016.

Ted Cruz, master of understatement, gave his reaction to the ruling. First line says it all:

Nope. It's 4-3 Kagan and Ginsberg performed gay weddings. Marriage equality is one man one woman. You and the pro-SSM crowd advocate the destruction of religious liberty which must be preserved.

Actually it's 7-2 because Thomas and Scalia should have recused themselves from Bush v. Gore, so Bush shouldn't have become President, and Alito and Roberts' seats should belong to more liberal justices.

We won, you lost. That's all that matters to me. Go cry about it.

No it's 9-0 because all 9 of them should have voted for equality.

You haven't won yet. This case can still be reconsidered and congress can also still act.

[Edu]

No it's 9-0 because all 9 of them should have voted for equality.

It's actually 36 - 3,14159265359 because in my mind there are that many judges and they all come from the planet Solaris and their names are all variations of Art Garfunkel.

Makes as much sense as JLC

Anyway, good decision, and glad to see one of the biggest countries on earth finally get marriage equality, congrats

By the way, in less than a month it will be the 5th anniversary of gay marriage legalization in Argentina and so far straight marriage and freedom of religion still exist and there have been no public demonstrations for congress to legalize bestiality or baby rape so paranoid conservatives should probably chill out a little.

Everyone who had personally been married should have recused themselves, and the quorom rules suspended, so that Kagan could issued a 1-0 ruling.

if by "this" you mean jcl, then yes.

[Blair]

Does JCL know he's the reason why everyone loves same sex marriage?

Stare decisis prevails. For the next year and a half, the President has a veto and will use it against some Congressional measure to make 'protection of traditional marriage' even a state option. Should a Democrat be elected President then the veto remains.

The anti-SSM cause will depend upon a cultural shift as profound as the 'born-again' movement of the 1970s that led to the 'conservative' trend of the 1980s. Don't count on any such cultural shift.  What you consider the Left in America isn't outrageous enough to prompt a secession from within. Add to that, demographic trends do not favor the Hard Right. America is becoming less white, less Christian, more secular, and less reactionary.

America is growing up about homosexuality. Homosexuals now say that they want children and that they want to keep the filthy hands of perverts off their children and are with the majority.  I will be delighted to insist that gays and lesbians make their words true.

[Cryptic]

The irony is if the JCL's of the country hadn't politicized the issue back in the 90's, we probably wouldn't have SSM nationwide today.
