Civil disobedience to this ruling is certainly required from everyone who worships God more than the corrupt humanism that has clearly overtaken our government on this issue. And I expect we will see that.

I'm pretty far right on most things including illegals, welfare, etc. With that said I'm quite pleased with this decision. It's about time it happened.
The absolute worst thing that happened to the conservative movement was to intertwine with fundamental Christianity.

My political beliefs aren't dictated by religious dogma but by free market principals.

If I wanted to mix my political beliefs with religion I'd join ISIS. Perhaps I could arrange a meet and greet for you??

I agree, but I'm 90% certain that's not how it'll go down. However, that's a discussion for a different topic.

I suppose if you were arrested for being caught making out with whomever you love, went to jail and lost your job--and then complained about it the you'd be "whining"?
Cry me a river..

Not Republicans age 18-29, as 61% of that age group supported gay marriage in 2014.

I am soooo waiting for all those who threatened to leave the US if this happens, to do so.

Buh-bye! and good luck on finding that happy place that doesn't allow SSM! When you do find it, be sure to report back here so your like-minded friends can follow!

Congratulations to the USA from Brazil, we are so happy with this decision. Not only a victory to America but also to the world.
