Nah

Every 4 years the gun manufacturers instill fear amongst gun owners, so people who are easily scared go out and buy more guns.

Did you see what happened to the gun manufacturers' stock price right after the election?

Google it

The LA Times went on a all out campaign the second proposition 8 passed. Daily articles every day of anything favorable to homosexuals. This went on for years until 5 unelected lawyers made new law.
Every time a state would allow homosexual marriage the Times would have a big article always listing the states that allowed homosexual marriage, never mentioning that these new laws were always because of a judge, never by the vote of the people.
The power of the press is immense.

Oh my. Wouldn't it be funny if the NRA was secretly slipping money to the Democrats?

I noticed the liberal propaganda TV networks and the media ran pro-gay propaganda every night for over a year or two before the gay marriage SCOTUS case. It's actually went on for several years, but it was a blitz the last year or two. I'm sure liberal academia ran a campaign too.

I always know the next liberal progressive political agenda ahead of time by watch what the media starts to promote.

Maybe a Mormon man could marry 15 women legally, but he'd get excommunicated from the LDS Church the second he married #2.

The worst that can happen is the states deciding whether or not to prohibit ssm, just as it was before the SC decision.

Exactly!


Anyone who thinks His Orangeness and or the SCOTUS in the next term or subsequent is going to roll back SSM decision wants their head examined.


First and foremost the SC rarely reverses itself, and when it does it is often many years between the two decisions. Look how long it took Blacks to go from *not* being considered citizens/men at all, then to separate but equal then finally full protections under the USC.


Regardless of how persons feel the SCOUTS made a decision that equal protection applies to marriage between same genders, something it did years ago for interracial unions.


In Loving vs. Virginia a majority of states had already removed their anti miscegenation statues, or were moving in that direction. So the court was simply going with the majority flow so to speak. On the same issue you cannot have a situation where a couple is legally married say in New York but not in Utah. It just runs afoul of one or more parts of the USC.

There is a lot of things I do not agree with !! But if it's the law, so be it and it passed. Now what right do you have to take anyone's freedoms away? They are in their legal right, no longer your business, you can complain,, that's fine, but that's all. [_]>. Here join me have a Beer to cry in -

Scary.

I'm all for freedom of the press, but there needs to be some kind of "checks and balances" in the press the way there should be in the government.
