Yes, one wonders if the Western Civilization has by these actions not invoked the destruction once provided to Sodom and Gemorrah.

Ultimately what the Supreme Court rules is meaningless. It is a sin before God and no court ruling will ever change that

No, but if the tool is left unused and left to rust, what good is it? That is the point he is making.
I guess the answer to that question is that the tool may be found by a later and more-enlightened society, and its rust removed for good new use.

Justice Kennedy...stressed the nobility and dignity of same-sex couples.Disgusting, if true.
To: Johnny Navarone
Didn’t Utah have to acknowledge monogamy as a condition of statehood? Well, yes, and wasn’t monogamous marriage between a man and a woman. Yes again, but no matter, it will be crammed down our throats. The law has become a mere whim of what five judges decide. They can twist the equal protection clause to mean just about anything. One other thing, why don’t 18 year old women have to sign up for the draft, 18 year old boys have to under penalty of fines and imprisonment.

I don’t advocate the adoption but believe it would be included in such a SCOTUS decision

” no longer a nation that is worth fighting for. “
Deeply troubling but also true. People might be willing to fight for their states or various regions of what was once the United States.

There is a definite division between the governors and the governed and they are self seeking degenerates(i.e Hastert loving a boys anus)
To: Johnny Navarone
If the SC rules wrongly on either of these cases, it will have jumped the shark. At that point it should be publicly ridiculed and openly defied.
To: Johnny Navarone
Whatever. Those arrogant freaks in the SCOTUS may think they have the power to redefine marriage, but they are mistaken. They can say what they want, “strike-down” whatever they wish, but they cannot change reality and thousands of years of tradition and sanity. All the homos who shack up together can never ever be married. They cannot even consummate a marriage. It’s all a farce.

"Sickening that major social and political issues are decided by an appointed judiciary in a republic." What's really sickening is to realize we have our Second Amendment Rights only as long as five of nine politically appointed lawyers agree we have them.

We’ll find out soon how many traitors are in the SCOTUS.

Chief Justice John Roberts, the swing vote when the court upheld Obamacare in 2012, said little during the March 4 oral argument to indicate how he will vote. That's because he was preoccupied with glancing down the floor, staring at his briefcase.

Just one of many issues. Fact is Marbury v Madison should be revised or even overturned.
