Confederate flags are going down everywhere, Obamacare was upheld (again...), and now same-sex couples can marry in every state in the Union. Its been a great week for America!

Good, though part of me regrets this issue had to be settled by the courts, rather than through the democratic process.

only surprise here is it was 5-4. despite his recently overblown undeserved rep as a "moderate", i figured Rooberts would want to ensure being on the winning side for posterity/textbooks, etc. not to mention a 6-3 vote would put it out of the Court's hands with no hope of a do-over with a conservative replacing one of the majority. though i doubt even the stronges. SSM opponents would realistically hope for that now considering how strong the tides of public opinion have changed.

It astounds me that four of North America's alleged brightest legal minds can't understand that the majority doesn't have the right to suppress via mob rule the natural rights of a minority. It just astounds me. They aren't even capable of seeing the issue from that simple light.

Oh well. They lost! Cheesy

I feel the exact same way, and I'll hold off on hoping that over time Roberts might possibly drift a bit to the left. Still, I regard him as a bit unpredictable. If it is challenged again in some roundabout way or whatever, he may vote to uphold it.
