Hey remember when Flash said the GOP wouldn't go after gay marriage or birth control?

[Mr.Badguy]

I am not surprised in the least that after curtailing reproductive choice, Republicans would seek to overturn marriage equality.

But look at all the problems gay marriage has caused! I mean there's...

And then there's...

And what about...

[Flash]

What's marriage equality?

Polygamists should also be allowed to marry.

[Flash]

Under the law, I think there's things like civil unions that are equal to marriage. Not so sure about fictions of the imagination.

Those civil unions became moot when same sex marriage was legalized.

[cawacko]

Polygamists should also be allowed to marry.

Just did a quick google search on polygamy and interesting to see the articles that pop up over the past decade supporting it. You are correct though, if we're talking marriage equality polygamy would be included in that.

[Cypress]

What's marriage equality?

That same sex couples are entitled to equality under the law, and are allowed the same rights straight couples have --> the right to marry the one person of your choice.

[LV426]

True, and Alito's opinion was the majority opinion.

Thomas has a concurrent opinion, which is what I posted in the OP.

That concurrent opinion is what will drive the GOP moving forward to attack the three precedents he talked about revisiting as a result of this decision.

None of the other justices signed on to the Thomas opinion meaning they were less likely to support his view about the other privacy rights.

Well, that's because Thomas wrote a concurrent opinion.

That doesn't mean the other Nazi judges would oppose it, and as of now, none of them have.

This concurrent opinion was also circulated

Point is that Thomas raised a massive signal flag letting you know what's coming next...just like I warned about a month ago that you arrogantly dismissed.

[LV426]

Polygamists should also be allowed to marry.

I agree. 100%.

As long as everyone is of age and consenting, I say marry as many fuckin' people as you want.

[LV426]

How extreme can they go?

Can SCOTUS basically turn this nation into a theocracy?

Pay attention, voters. Is this the direction you're looking to go in?

Conservatives want to go all the way back to before the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954...that decision more than any other is what motivated the fascist Conservative movement.

It galvanized their fascism, which is why Buckley wrote less than a year after that "Conservatism stands athwart history, yelling stop".

[BartenderElite]

Anita Hill was telling the truth.

[Flash]

Point is that Thomas raised a massive signal flag letting you know what's coming next...just like I warned about a month ago that you arrogantly dismissed.

Thomas let us know his opinion on the topic. Alito wrote just the opposite and his opinion is current law.

I noticed Thomas didn't say Loving v. VA should be revisited.

[NiftyNiblick]

Clarence Thomas is the lynching that SHOULD have happened.

[Flash]

But look at all the problems gay marriage has caused! I mean there's...

And then there's...

And what about...

Before Obergefell, 38 states had same sex marriage.

[Flash]

In the gun case the court overrode the right of the state to pass gun restrictions. In the abortion case the court returned the issue to the states to decide.

The left and the right took opposite sides on states' rights in these two cases.

[Doc Dutch]

I think the SCOTUS is safely in the hands of conservatives for the next 30 years, so so broad and virtually unlimited interpretation of the second amendment is probably safe.

I'm not so sure. Once given the power to remove rights, governments tend to use that power.

[Doc Dutch]

In the gun case the court overrode the right of the state to pass gun restrictions. In the abortion case the court returned the issue to the states to decide.

President Ford was correct:
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”
