    Scalia was acting like a whiny little child today, and I am so happy!

    Seriously, here’s a footnote from him:

    ““If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: ‘The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,’ I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.”

    SUCK IT SCALIA. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR!

    The four dissenting justices all wrote separate opinions because they thought writing a joint opinion would seem too gay.

      It appears Roberts and Scalia’s dissent was written together.

      Interesting, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    beyond disheartened to hear that religious freedom has just been banned, this is america

    edit - i am apparently either really bad at mocking or really good at mimicking the opposition to this ruling

    Glad that’s settled. Now the real question about Constitutionality begins. I eagerly await the massive court battles and civil discourse when same-sex couples try to force churches to perform their ceremonies.

      You know what. Same-sex marriage has been legal in MANY countries for some time now. This hasn’t even been an issue and I would wager that it won’t be an issue here. But please go on with your fear mongering for a war on religion.

      Sadly, many county clerks in Texas this morning are refusing to honor the decision for this very reason. It’s about to get ugly here. Watch the news today.

    Wahoo!!! Look at your kids today and realize the full weight of this - they won’t have the same struggles our LGBT friends and families have had to endure. Our children will have the freedom to fall in love with anyone and marry that person without contention. Thank you to all who have stood up and made this change.

      I was just thinking about this. My infant is asleep while this news is coming out. She’s only going to know a world where same-sex marriage is legal and NBD, the same that I grew up post Loving vs. Virginia and could marry whatever race I want. It’s wonderful.
