Todays decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact and the furthest extension one can even imagineof the Courts claimed power to create liberties that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves

They should have re-used the argument for not ruling on Alabama's sex toy ban in 2005:
"If the people of Alabama in time decide that prohibition on sex toys is misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly, they can repeal the law and be finished with the matter," the court said.
"On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like."

Scalia is a patriot.
His dissent here, and in the 0bamacare case yesterday, state in the clearest most unequivocal terms that our fundamental liberties have been placed in real and active peril.
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.
Gladly and willingly.

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.

In a horrific week for American jurisprudence, I wish I could say more than ‘Justice Scalia has given me a new tagline’.
Sadly, as the opinions of a majority of Americans are flushed down the sewer by an unelected, activist court, that’s the best I can do.
Thank you, Justice Scalia. You speak for me.

It’s akin to a war on the people, our government has lost it’s way. Can revolution be far behind or have we lost our true Independence, Freedom and adherence to our founding documents.
In short, is this still America?

Today more than ever before in our nation’s history, the tree of liberty needs the watering that only comes from the blood of patriots. May the Lord our God give wisdom and courage to the American people. Amen.

What I find incredibly hilarious, in light of yesterday's chicanery on Obamacare and today's ruling, is this nugget in plain sight in the dissent written by (of all people,) Roberts (
emphasis mine):
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS, with whom JUSTICE SCALIA and JUSTICE THOMAS join, dissenting.
Petitioners make strong arguments rooted in social policy and considerations of fairness. They contend that same-sex couples should be allowed to affirm their love and commitment through marriage, just like opposite-sex couples. That position has undeniable appeal; over the past six years, voters and legislators in eleven States and the District of Columbia have revised their laws to allow marriage between two people of the same sex.
But this Court is not a legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us. Under the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be. The people who ratified the Constitution authorized courts to exercise neither force nor will but merely judgment.
Roberts is such a hypocrite, considering that only yesterday, he told us the Court had to try to guess what the writers of Obamacare meant to say.

Fruits of the 17th Amendment bearing a nasty harvest... We truly are in a democracy and it never ends well.
Restore the Republic, repeal the 17th Amendment... These Judges would never been on the Supreme Court.

You captured the essence of it in #1, but it bears repeating:
This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine...robs the People of the most important liberty...the freedom to govern themselves.
Which, of course, is the goal of any aspiring totalitarian government.
As the guy on the radio is used say, "Wake up, America."

A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy. That's it in a nutshell, we've officially become an oligarchy.
