Clarence Thomas Signals Willingness to Overturn Obergefell v. Hodges

[surada]

This...is actually true. Marriage the institution is a religious / civil pact. Marriage the contract is just a contract.

In law marriage is a contract.

 

[BackAgain]

Well shit, now we KNOW it's going to happen. Shoulda kept your mouth shut.

Nope. Now you’re just expressing concern that it might not pan out to be another stupid nothing for you libtards to shrilly whine about.

 

[fncceo]

Did you not see this coming? I did.
No doubt they’ll be canceling women’s right to vote next.

The right of women to vote is based not a Supreme Court Decision, but on a Constitutional Amendment. It cannot be repealed by the courts.

I don't mind a little panic on your part. It's actually entertaining.

But, try and remember middle school civics.

Cry it all out, crybaby.

The gay marriage case will go to SCOTUS. And the bought and paid for right wing crazies will overturn the ruling.

Good for Clarance Thomas. Marriage laws have always been under stare authority.

 

[BS Filter]

You damn sure don't mind the grooming in churches.

I'd like to baptize you...for about 6 minutes.

 

[Coyote]

Ain’t ever gonna happen.

That’s what I thought about Roe…but if precedent no longer matters, then why wouldn’t it happen? This court’s conservatives have no problem taking away established rights.

 

[Coyote]

Good for Clarence.
They want civil union ceremonies, knock themselves out but marriage is a sacred bonding of a single male to a single female.

Since when?

You're confused....again. This court is simply removing what should be left up to the states. Marriage and abortion are not addressed in the Constitution. Anything not addressed in the Constitution is up to the states. Let each state decide on abortion and queer marriage. No one is losing any so called rights. Absurd.

 

[BS Filter]

Since when?

Since the dawn of civilization.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

So are you saying that many people are still wringing their hands and clutching their pearls over the fact that gay people can marry?

People ignore what they cannot change. They don't let the objectionable into their lives. Give them an opportunity to vote and it's a whole other experience. That's why same sex marriage failed in California. California of all places, who would have thought that.

Roberts, Thomas and Alito already voted against same sex marriage

Any doubt on how the TRUMP a judges would vote?

How do you have a marriage recognized in one state and prohibited in another?

People cross state lines in their lifetimes

 

[SweetSue92]

Nobody has yet been able to explain how gay marriage is a threat to anything.

They can call it whatever they like. For millions of us, it is not and never will be a marriage.

Though I don't condone SSM I agree this is more difficult. An abortion is a (hopefully) one time event whereas a marriage is a legal status you keep for decades. That's why I think it's here to stay federally though again millions of us know it's not a marriage.

 

[SweetSue92]

The country has moved on in accepting gay marriage

Some assholes still cling to their hate

I do not hate gay people. I could cite example but why bother? But their marriages are not marriages.

If women could be stripped of their right to vote this nation might be saved. As it is....

 

[johngaltshrugged]

Since when?

Since before Obergefell? Duh

As much as yours

 

[SweetSue92]

As much as yours

Nope. And if you're going to cite the law, realize at one time the law in the US and many other places in the world stated you could own human beings.

The law is not always correct.
