As well a Constitutionalist would be expected

Ruh Roh! Justice Kennedy, you WILL fall in line with the GLBT (gilberts roll of the tongue easier than LGBT) way of thinking or you will suffer the consequences. Which will be more severe than the misguided youts in B’more are gonna see.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Gay Marriage survives, as a tax.

[MrB]

Justice Kennedy doesn’t seem to realize this is necessary in order to criminalize Christianity.
Someone needs to send him a memo.

Didn’t Ginsburg and Sotomayer recuse themselves? So, it wouldn’t be 5-4 anyway......

Jack and Bill may have a right to enter into a binding agreement between themselves, but why should they have the right to force me or anyone else to be a party to their private agreement? Unlike traditional marriage, which benefits me and my community by producing the next generation of civil society, same sex living agreements are of no use to anyone beyond the private parties involved.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Here is a question: If the SC rules in favor of traditional marriage, does that reverse all the decisions by liberal federal judges who overturned MANY states’ laws banning gay marriage? I would think so.

[elengr]

Homosexuality is an abnormal but natural minor defect that afflicts a few percent of the population. I support private, contractual civil unions for homosexuals (they are not "gays," if anything they should be called "sads"). But to call such unions marriage is like putting a bonnet on a bowel movement and then passing a law that everyone must call it a baby. By the way, I don't care what consenting adults do to each other in private, just stay out of my face about it and don't force me to condone it.

The community has a vested interest in promoting marriage in order to ensure that people produce as few amoral, feral criminal progeny as possible. Turning marriage into a simple fondness contract completely disregards the impact to society of the feral children that would ensue from unstable pleasure unions. Why do you think the black community produces so many criminal thugs?

Homosexual faux marriage is just one aspect of the left's general attack on the nuclear family. Strong, moral, committed families produce decent civilized productive people generation after generation that generally have little need or use for a bloated, tyrannical feral government interfering in and controlling their lives. The real problem today is the systematic destruction of the nuclear family unit through no-fault divorce (marxists hate marriage and strong families). Homosexual faux marriage is a symptom, not a cause.

I kinda wish that the Supreme Court would go back to the days of secrecy. Every minute is analyzed and broke apart. I think back in the day there was a bit of interest in the Supreme Court due to the mystery. Now they all go around talking and discuss this and that. If one area should be mysterious it should be the Supreme Court. We really shouldn’t know much about it because really is knowing that Justice Ginsberg and Justice Scalia go on trips together really that important? I think it takes away the prestige of being on the Supreme Court. The only thing that the public should know is what the ruling is and the arguments. In fact, after confirmation we shouldn’t even know if they are aging or not.....ok annual photo I will accept but otherwise they should not be heard ever.

[demshateGod]

I can’t wait to see what a Sodo-riot looks like.

[rainee]

Roberts will vote for it, watch..

[Iron Munro]

Perhaps, like with the Obamacare decision, it’s not Kennedy who is the swing vote.

If the SC rules in favor of traditional marriage, does that reverse all the decisions by liberal federal judges who overturned MANY states’ laws banning gay marriage?

And that is why it will survive. They will find that canceling 309,000 “marriages” would be to difficult. Would they have to redo all the taxes from those years, invalidate all kinds of things that married people get? What about those who divorced and are getting spousal support or one gave 50 percent of their money to the other due to divorce....do that money go back to original since the marriage was invalidated? I wish the states would have waiting on a Supreme Court decisions before allowing even on “gay marriage”. Then they definitely would have voted no to gay marriage. Now......I am not so sure they will. A 6-3 decision for gay marriage would not shock me a bit.

[oldbrowser]

Now the arm twisting will begin behind closed doors.

[DiogenesLamp]

I will be shocked if Justice Kennedy doesn’t vote to create “Gay” marriage.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

No. Why would they have recused themselves?

[PGR88]

Its all so ridiculous

Some political prognosticator holds a press-conference GUESSING what one judge will say, in an issue that is already decided.

The US government is a leviathan captured by statists and leftists, who have used up $18 Trillion in debt and countless more in printed-fiat money to conduct their social-engineering programs.

And you think what will be a tortured, academic ruling from one judge will matter at all?

[Ingtar]

Considering the track record of this sort of article before this, prepare for the SC to rule in favor of issuing.

[RIghtwardHo]

I say again ... you can glean pretty much nothing from a Judge’s questions. I remember a big case I won on prior criminal acts before the VA Sup Ct that I was SURE I was going to lose because the Judges were all over me with some tough questions and pretty much ignored the Defendant’s atty.

Here’s hoping, but it means nothing.
