Thank You. This is going to be an interesting week. I cannot find another word besides interesting to remain on the forum.
And in every case they will come down on the side of the left. The fix is in, folks. It’s a kangaroo court.
After last years ruling on Obamacare, I no longer have any hope that SCOTUS will do the right thing. On any ruling....
To put it bluntly, these decisions will tell us where this country is headed both politically and morally. Prayers up.
Amen ... Prayers Up.
California Proposition 8- I am praying they do not throw out the right of those voters. There’s not a lot of respect for this court just from Roberts changing his mind in deciding to write Obamacare as a tax. Justice Roberts is responsible for the hell that he has forced people to live under. That man should not be on the court by his actions of that case alone. I think they will rule in the way to hurt society because of their pattern. Not much confidence in that court.

The country is finished, these rulings will just speed it up or slow it down just a hair.
The best that we can hope for in that case is that SCOTUS denies standing in all federal courts, which would leave in place the CA Supreme Court decision upholding Prop 8 as constitutional. It would be a victory for States’ Rights if not for the institution of marriage. I think SCOTUS wants to leave the same-sex marriage debate to the states.
I’m not making any bets, since I no longer trust our courts.
Same here, but continuing to ask for His forgiveness and providence.
After examining the ideological makeup of the majority in recent decisions, I am at a loss myself. When Scalia and Thomas are at odds in a decision, it blows my mind.
Roberts was put in place for a reason....
Ping-a-ling
(Used an outdated ping list for this thread.)
Add to those 4 decisions the amnesty vote in the senate and this could be remembered as the week when the “fundamental transformation of America” actually took place.
yes ... guess onward to whatever happens. May the week be blessed with God’s Mercy.
I can’t believe we’re still fighting reverse discrimination. That’s the only one I feel they may decide correctly on, “feel” being the operative word, as I have no well-informed analysis to back up my hunch. I just think diversity is overworked these days and is not a strong enough interest to outweigh fairness to the individual.
These are battles for things rightly belonging to the states and individuals not the federal government. The only involvement SCOTUS should have is to declare these a states' issue and remand back to the states accordingly.
As was once penned by Lincoln in the Gettysburg address, "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." The difference in this war is the right is FOR states' rights and individual freedom AGAINST the coercion and tyranny of a rogue federal government with ever increasing unconstitutional powers.
May God by his mercy and grace grant that "this nation, under God have a new birth of freedom", not just politically, in right decisions here by decentralizing federal government power, but more importantly, spiritually among the American people. May God once again save and bless America.
Thanks BuckeyeTexan - keep us posted.
