An Argument for Dignity. Justice Anthony Kennedy seems to see a nobility of purpose in gay marriage.
Slate ^ | Ap 28 2015 | Dahlia Lithwick

Posted on 04/29/2015 9:12:37 PM PDT by WilliamIII

A protester at the Supreme Court this morning starts yelling about hell and homosexuality, shrieking, “The Bible teaches that if you support gay marriage you will burn in hell for eternity.” As he’s dragged from the chamber (he can be heard screaming outside for several minutes more), Justice Antonin Scalia quips that this is “rather refreshing actually.” There is, it seems an Angry Scalia, just as there is an angry Obama.

As for Justice Anthony Kennedy, if we know anything at all about him it is this: You don’t tell him what dignity is, or who has it, or how much it counts. As most Kennedy-watchers well know, to the extent that Kennedy’s vote is in play on most issues, what he is contemplating is dignity. Often balanced against other dignity. He’s the dignity-whisperer.

Kennedy has been a stain on the body politic for decades. He is responsible for this entire fiasco with his insipid and retarded Lawrence VS. Texas decision. ‘

He should burn in Hell!

If you can’t find dignity at a gay wedding reception held at a bar called “The Manhole” (and there are several), where CAN you find it?

I don’t know about a fix, but it’s now clear to me that Kennedy will go along with the 4 libs and so-called “gay” marriage will get constitutional protection. I believe it’s all in God’s hands, and He will not tolerate much more from a decadent America before He brings down judgment on us. I say “us” because He knows that most Christians have sat on our hands and allowed our once-Christian nation to be destroyed by an anti-Christian public education system and gross immorality in almost every part of our entertainment industry. Mighty Rome fell to her enemies and America can fall just as surely as Rome. I’m almost 78 and probably won’t be around to see it happen, but unfortunately my children grandchildren probably will, that is if they aren’t executed before then for the crime of being born again Christians.

Which means 6-3, because Roberts doesn’t like narrow splits, he’ll join the leftists - again.

I would not even blame Lawrence for this juncture.

The perversion that said you dare not chase it into a private bedroom now says it has the right to pull all of us into its territory.

This should be a “Just a hairy minute” moment. You want to be private or not, make up your mind.

Kennedy has an incredible ego. He loves being the center of attention, that’s obvious. What a flaming jackass.

Read Scalia’s decent in Lawrence. He predicted the idea of judicially enforced same sex marriage. He actually SAID it in the decent.

5-4 rulings changing thousands of years of human history.

There will be strenuous pushback attempts. The audience that the Gaystapo has tried to shove this down the throat of is different in the USA than in Europe.

A state marriage standard amendment is one obvious retort to this. And it may be further helped inasmuch as the Gaystapo will not be able to stop itself from being obnoxious... because it is never any more satisfied than hell itself is and because Christianity will not shut up.

I have not seen a single “decent” from the USSC in years.

I think you may have intended “dissent.” Scalia might actually be inadvertently helping these hellmongers fix on their next targets.

"But just how does this hurt regular marriage? As Ginsburg puts it: 'How could that be? Because all of the incentives, all of the benefits that marriage affords would still be available. So you’re not taking away anything from heterosexual couples.'”

You have a small set of humans. Two are male, and two are female. The two males marry and the two females marry.

"...does this hurt regular marriage?

Does it benefit society?

I suppose one empty shell is as noble as any other empty shell. Marriage as once honored by all good men was at least an expectant place holder for what we know as holy matrimony.

It’s sad but true that Christians themselves may have had a hand in its demise, but not keeping it holy. In a way this is God saying okay you treated this as profane, I’ll let the devil show you profane. Then you’ll have to fight, but eventually if you let Me back into your hearts you will once more win. Then I hope you never forget the lesson.

I think you may be right.

I’ve been pondering for some time if Barack Hussein Obama is God’s judgment on America. And yes, I’m being totally serious.
