I thought of something unrelated to marriage, but in line with this discussion....

Given that SCOTUS has now used the 14th amendment to declare that all people must be treated equally under the law, how then can they possibly defend affirmative action at any federal, state, or local level?

Very good point.

What’s better, the States must now recognize same-sex marriage, but they cannot force religions to do that. Their chants of separation are now going to be played back to them.

The 14 th amendment does not say that...

The word is “protected” not “treated equally”

the liberals again have used semantics to change meanings for their agenda...

The law has no obligation to be consistent. It just claims to be, while all the time playing favorites. At bottom, the law is arbitrary and outcome oriented.

Do not be surprised if the law declares that homosexuals have a constitutional right to preferential treatment under the law.
