Why is there so much spot-on analysis about Obergefell, calling for direct disobedience to the Court, and measures to bring the justices to heel, when in 42 years, during which 59 million babies have been murdered, there has been virtually NO such spot-on analysis regarding Roe, Doe, and Casey?

Bump for judicial disobedience.

Just saying what people want to hear at this time and not really meaning it or understanding the sacrifice that is needed in the end when you are dealing with emotion driven angry people who can’t be reasoned with who aren’t stopping at gay marriage.

The situation conservatives are in is like a really bad marriage. One where over the last 7 years the wife has shot the dog, burned down the house, sold the kids kidneys on craigslist, and drained the bank account to buy crack. And now, the wife is banging the neighbors on the front lawn.

The author of this article is suggesting some stern marital counseling will do the trick.

The USSC continues again and again to discover ‘rights’ in the constitution which aren’t there, meanwhile utterly ignoring, and even dismissing, the guarantee of freedom of religion in the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights, which is quite definitely there.

Although not all natural couples choose to have children, or are capable of doing so, this does not alter by one iota society’s compelling interest in holding out as normative, and particularly desirable, the only type of sexual relationship that is capable of doing what is required for the perpetuation of society. Further, there is reason to believe, and common sense would suggest, that children fare best when raised by two married parents who model distinctively male and female traits and virtues.

Well, bravo.

Not sure why that has not been a more prominent argument.

I’m not sure how a court can render natural law meaningless.

Or how when a child witnesses two queers queering in public, and they turn to your wife and say “mommy what’s wrong with them?” how the SCOTUS can turn this around.

“It” all started when ‘scientific evidence’ suggested being homosexual is not by choice, but by genes.

I don't know when the concept was a mere suggestion nor when it was widely accepted. Afterwards it is a downhill battle.

"Americans have a constitutional right “to define and express their identity.”

YIPPIE! I'm a black woman trapped in a white mans body. Can you say EBT?

"Americans have a constitutional right..."

Apparently we can now substitute the word "constitutional" for the word "delusional". NICE!

The author recommends state and local action to stymie, not reverse the evil of Obergefell.

Okay. Fine.

Yet the obvious long term solution is to prevent future outrages, with the hope of reversing Obergefell, Roe and other violations of God's law.

Return the states to the senate and that will put an end to anti-10th amendment, leftist judges.

Article V.

None of the dissent on the Court matters one whit. What matters is the tsunami of lawsuits that are even now being prepared against every religious entity and every Christian and Orthodox Jewish person in America. This “decision” is the signal that the 1st Amendment is overturned and religion has no rights and is to be expunged or co-opted into State pseudo worship. Free Speech cannot stand. Part of the 1st cannot be quashed without taking down the whole thing, and taking out the 1st implies that the Constitution itself is no longer in force. part of the Constitution cannot be summarily overturned without the whole thing crumbling.

Well I s’pose one has to start somewhere. If a person wakes up from a week long drunk —he can’t turn back the clock to start changing things back when he lifted that second beer.
It’s the same thing here. America can’t go back to fix our National sins prosecuted in roe and Doe —or even back to that divisive Wall of Separation unless we start where we are at and walk it back.

Who will take the first bullet or first life sentence. I have ZERO doubt Obama will lock up detractors for life or have them shot. NONE.

A very insightful post.

I was loving this article right up until I got to the suggested remedies.

We need leaders with understanding who will stand up and fight back, not hunker down in a defensive crouch, and we need them now.

The author also mentioned impeachment. I have long argued that this is the most appropriate and underused punishment for tyrannical judges. Passing more laws or amendments to curb their behavior is the same thinking that drives gun control legislation. The senate would be key to the conviction of tyrannical judges but without a political class willing to defend liberty, I am not hopeful. It seems that most politicians writhe with glee every time a court decision gives government more power at the expense of our liberty. Where are the politicians running against judicial tyranny with a promise of real punishment for the offenders?
