Justice Kennedy compares gay marriage uproar to flag burning

His remarks at the 9th Circuit Judicial Conference were his first public comments since he wrote the decision last month that put an end to same-sex marriage bans in 14 states. Kennedy said. "We spend that capital of trust, and we have to rebuild that capital. We have to put new deposits, new substance into this reservoir of trust."

Kennedy is delusional if he thinks the conservative half of America has any trust in the Supremes.

It’s not just the Supremes. I for one have no more trust in the country itself.

Just try burning a rainbow flag and see what happens.

It won’t be a lesson in the 1st Amendment

This man has no idea how much damage he has done to this nation. Either that or he is one of the most evil men in history.

Judge Kennedy, I think it racist to hold our first black president to two terms. Can I trust you to remedy?

America has descended into an era of decadence and hedonism. Kennedy is an excellent example that in a culture that rejects moral absolutes, anyone be they a concentration camp executioner, abortionist, Supreme Court justice or wild eyed terrorist can mold their pliable conscience to perform any atrocity. No doubt Kennedy feels very good about himself and sleeps well.

“We spend that capital of trust”

This sounds like an admission that they did something wrong.

He’s self-congratulating himself on his courageous decision?

He’s saying he weathered the outrage of flag burning decision (he casted the decisive vote then), so he’ll survive this gay marriage fire storm.

His embrace and authorship of such a perversion of Constitutional government is sickening.

Disgraceful.

He has reserved a place for himself in the Far-Left hall of fame alongside Harry Blackmun author of roe v. wade.

Flag burning is not condemned multiple times in the Bible. Faggot sex is.

Kennedy has lost what little respect I had for him.

IMHO, All judges should be term limited to 12 years.

He’s also delusional if he thinks, after a few months, we’ll all just accept his logic on fag marriage. Not going to happen. Ever.

No, Justice Kennedy, your ruling compares to Bible burning.

“We spend that capital of trust, and we have to rebuild that capital. We have to put new deposits, new substance into this reservoir of trust.”

Wow, that is rich, coming from the guy who has been largely responsible for more over-reach into SC decisions than almost anyone in history. Trust? REALLY? Try actually sticking to the FREAKING WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION for oh, say, the next 50 years. Then I will consider whether to trust the Court. Until then, screw off. I will continue to trust the Court’s decisions about as far as I can fling a Nimitz-class carrier.

Kennedy and his colleagues did not “legalize” “gay marriage.” They delegitimized themselves.

Anthony Kennedy is the stupidest man to ever sit on the Supreme Court. He should have been removed years ago for incompetence.
