Matthew 5:22

This decision is not even close to being as bad as Roe vs Wade. Two homosexuals killing themselves spiritually and physically, does not even touch the taking of a defenseless life. Not even close.

The process used in arriving at this ruling is worse than the result.

Mr Justice Kennedy, for the Court:

"These references show an emerging awareness that liberty gives substantial protection to adult persons in deciding how to conduct their private lives in matters pertaining to sex".

So now, the Court claims the right to rule by discerning "emerging awareness" on the part of the population.

No need for voting, no need to listen to those selected through voting, no means to question the justice's perception of "emerging awareness" - if the laws passed by the People do NOT reflect "emerging awareness" what else can possibly do so?

The power to issue rulings based on a justice's discernment of "emerging awareness" is exactly the power claimed by the French revolutionaries to rule in the name of the General Will.

It is pure despotism, and it doesn't matter if they use the power to outlaw sodomy or to require it.

The consequences to a Free Republic are the same.
