Dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia summed up his disgust with this ruling in a footnote on page 7 (note 22). He says, “If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: ‘The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,’ I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.”

(And let me be clear, the Hispanic community is very religious, traditional and family-oriented as well.)

On paper. They go to church. But, they are Catholic. I’m sad to say that nowadays that’s = Christian in name only. Heck, even the Pope has become more Leftist than Christian.

A vast majority of Jews have already demonstrated that they are Liberal first and Jews second.

A majority of Catholics at several elections, before this, have demonstrated the same.

A majority of Hispanics have already demonstrated the same (support illegal immigration first and foremost).

I hope my pessimism is misplaced. Only God can save us. And He can do it.

Since 0bama has been claiming all sorts of titles (first Jewish president, etc) he can now claim to be the first gay president; came out of the closet did he?

At least most of today’s sodomites will be dead within twenty years from the various diseases they carry, and they can’t limit themselves to one partner, “married” or not.

Maybe in twenty years the people will realize, “Hey, this is not working out the way we planned!”

This is another attack on states rights and Christianity. Next they will want to dismantle the individual states and just have one big federal govt. The Constitution is now a living document. If everything is decided in Washington why do we even need state governments. Just wait its coming.

One state, just leave us to one, single, Constitutionally constructed state, and we’ll leave the other 49 alone. We’ll even pay into a fund, based on population, for defense expenditures. Check back in 10 years and assess which “country” is in better shape.

Time to push the reset button and start over. We really haven’t had a constitution that has been followed as law since at least FDR. And this just finishes completely.

Constitution convention. Call the states together, let’s get started.


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

It’s simple — in the 2012 presidential election there were some five to seven million evangelical Christian voters who sat it out.

Add one more Catholic to that list in 2016.

If the Republicans can't be trusted in small things they deserve no big things.

Roberts’ almost certainly sided with the dissenters on the homosexual marriage thing ONLY because he knew the other side had the votes to swing it obozo’s way.
And WHY would he do that after saving obozocare TWICE? Here’s a really good reason:
Speculation is rife that obama and his minions KNOW that the Chief Justice VIOLATED THE ADOPTION LAWS OF IRELAND and have used the threat of public disclosure of that to secure FAVORABLE RULINGS from him and those on the court over whom he has some influence. The first such was their ludicrous ruling that Obamacare penalties were a TAX. And the second occurred today, when the court TOTALLY IGNORED THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACA to rule as it did. That tortured ruling has caused numerous legal commentators — Judge Napolitano among them — to opine that words no longer have meanings.
While his brutal murder of the supreme organic law of America goes unnoticed by the leftist (aka “COMMUNIST”) media, how unseemly would it be to have the CJ of the SCOTUS known as a common scofflaw?
I guess everyone has a price.

“Churches that hold to a strict and conservative interpretation of the Bible’s teaching about gender and marriage may find themselves “Romanized”. “

In particular, black churches and mosques.

The posturing going on by religious leaders and politicians over gay marriage is sick-making.

Almost 60 million babies have been butchered, and EVERY ONE of the fifty governors has obeyed the USSC, and refrained from enforcing his state’s abortion laws. Not a single governor has ever whispered the word “secession” in response to the federal government’s command to permit baby-butchering.

And we’re supposed to believe that there is going to be “civil war” to prevent weddings between people who only want to be happy, who aren’t harming anyone, who only want the world to acknowledge “who they love”!
