Scalia Dissent: I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy

Supreme Court.gov ^ | 26 Jun 15 | Antonin Scalia

[caww]

...."There is a higher Judge and the Highest Court in the Universe is about to pass judgment on this Government and upon this nation for calling good evil and evil good. No place to run or hide just look up and await salvation or destruction.".....

"And GOD SAW that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that 'every imagination' of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."...Gen. 6:5

It’s really been incremental since the 1930s, the last 7 have been really bad and a lot of people that never cared anything about politics are suddenly seeing what’s going on. Even a lot of Obama voters.

the majority opinion as noted in Scalia's dissent notes ( pp) (gay marriage) legalization expands liberty in the realms of intimacy and spirituality.

Watch out for this statement from Kennedy's majority opinion - this opens the door for all kinds of crazed "liberties" created by the Vicars of Obama. Just imagine your worst nightmares

[caww]

Both are perps IMO.

[Kozak]

So Scalia recognizes we live in a Judicial Tyranny.

[caww]

YES...that he is...and great respect for him going nuclear on the rest of them!

[zeugma]

For the last 7 years, we’ve been nothing but subjects that are to be ruled.

7 years? It goes back a heck of a lot longer than that. This is not a partisan thing. We are being destroyed by both "sides".

[Sioux-san]

Here is my first prophecy on the Gay ‘Marriage’ ruling. A Gay fascist couple will head right over to Franklin Graham and demand he marry them. Franklin will be the first one to go to prison for denying their “human rights” and committing a heinous Hate crime.

[NewHampshireDuo]

At least there’s enough sanity left on the court for a well-reasoned dissent to be written. Sad days for the USA.

Response from the Republican controlled Congress

The congressional leadership of both parties adores both 0bamacare and sodomite marriage. If they come at the expense of the Constitutional liberties of a few rubes, well, so be it.

[Tanniker Smith]

Mom and Dad always told me that the Ends Never Justify the Means.

[Cboldt]

-- ... but you cannot practice your religion where it conflicts with the law, whatever that means these days. --

That's always been the case. The law holds itself out as the ultimate authority on action and practice. See polygamy cases all the way back to Reynolds.

Understood on your point about "whatever that means these days," as the law and the courts are unpredictable and arbitrary.

[TheDon]

Agreed. As with Roe v Wade, they will breathe a quiet collective sigh of relief.

[Rummy2]

This was a cover vote for Roberts.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yup.

[Hardens Hollow]

I taught for one semester.

I quit, deciding not to sell my soul.

[Cboldt]

Scalia's dissent in planned parenthood v. Casey is epic.

The Imperial Judiciary lives.

[TheDon]

Correct. In this case, Scalia implies that all religions will be required to accept Same Sex “Marriages” as legitimate in practice or face consequences.

[Hardens Hollow]

“If there were a serious, principled insurrection against the tyranny of Washington and for the restitution of our liberties, as of today I would join it.”

That would be our only hope.

We moved to a rural, conservative, armed area, waiting for it to start.

[Justa]

There’s a much easier way to kill this beast.

Concerned states use such usurpations to repudiate federal authority. They meet and agree on a common exchange system for transfer of goods and services. Then they repudiate the federal debt and federal reserve system.

The fed has over 700 trillion outstanding liabilities. With the loss of substantial inflows and repudiation by many states their currency becomes worthless, accepted by no one.

It’s a fast-sinking ship. It’s time to jump otherwise we’ll go down with the fools who wrecked her in spite of our best efforts.
