Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage

[Dick Whitman]

I think it deserves its own thread, even though 99.9 percent of the board, I assume, applauds the decision.

Hot diggity, Scalia!

Justice Scalia's Gay Marriage Advice: 'Ask the Nearest Hippie' - NBC News

"Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality [whatever that means] were freedoms?" he wrote. "And if intimacy is, one would think that Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie."

Boom. #askthenearesthippie

#AskTheNearestHippie Dear nearest hippie: would any amount of drugs make Scalia not be like that?

Nearest Hippie is a good name for a band.

I don't know where the hell he's finding all these hippies since California isn't in the West.

Take, for example, this Court, which consists of only nine men and women, all of them successful lawyers who studied at Harvard or Yale Law School. Four of the nine are natives of New York City. Eight of them grew up in east- and west-coast States. Only one hails from the vast expanse in-between. Not a single Southwesterner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner (California does not count).

I'm glad Scalia has given us a historical document of all his insanity. I'm sure he'll be remembered fondly in history.

Roberts' dissent today is pretty hilarious when taking into account his written opinion in yesterday's Obamacare decision.

One day we're a nation of men, not laws. The next day we're a nation of laws, not men. How convenient to be able to switch whenever you want to.

Good news for gays: They can get married.

Bad news for gays: They can get married.

Pretty sure every single justice is more interested in reaching their ideological and personal beliefs when it comes to situations like this. Contradictory opinions are no worry for any of them, be it Roberts, Scalia, or anyone else.

At least the court got it right this time. But I admire Roberts as much or more than as any of them. Even when I don't agree with him, his opinions are always well thought out.

"They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his 28-page ruling. "The Constitution grants them that right."

Thank you, 14th amendment. Future Americans will someday wonder how a cretin like Scalia ever made the Supreme Court.

This has been a really bad week for conservatives. No more Confederate flag on some state grounds. The ACA survives a mother challenge. And now gays can legally get married in all 50 states.

They want their Confederate Countreeee back.

Polygamists also thank you.

Although the majority randomly inserts the adjective “two” in various places, it offers no reason at all why the two-person element of the core definition of marriage may be preserved while the man-woman element may not. Indeed, from the standpoint of history and tradition, a leap from opposite-sex marriage to same-sex marriage is much greater than one from a two-person union to plural unions, which have deep roots in some cultures around the world. If the majority is willing to take the big leap, it is hard to see how it can say no to the shorter one. It is striking how much of the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage.

My wife and I have been shopping, but we can't decide which gender to add. Maybe both.

Would certainly help with child care.

Animals still have to sue to get that right. Good luck doing that without thumbs, *******.

I quit believing in the domino theory halfway through the Vietnam War.

I want that to be penned by Fred Smoot, but that would be asking too much.
