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.

“Even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote”
Perhaps as an aside, this little phrase really needs to be paid attention to .
It speaks volumes about how the Supreme Court works behind the scenes.

BS.
Conservatives in the US are unwilling to fight for their beleifs.
The Liberals are and they have won the battle for America.
Its 100% over.
Canada is fare more conservative and is not racist against whites or Christians.

A grass-roots civil war is an impossibility. The left-wing control of media, education, technology and finance means that conservatives can’t win NOW and pretty every moneyed or elite conservative would switch sides rather than take their chance with the rebels: if the rebels loses, they lose everything, and if it wins, they now have to obey a bunch of guys who a few years prior were loading up their F150s at Wal-Mart the weekends?
There are maybe a high-enough percentage of Evangelical officers to start some kind of coup, but, boy, talk about your risk of unintended consequences.
