As with abortion, the ultra right wing dominated SCOTUS will work to chip away at these rulings. They will allow many more restrictions making abortion very difficult. They will allow more religious exemptions in order to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. A majority of the court will not be happy until America goes back to the dark ages.
The Loving v Virginia case might then be overturned. I grew up in that era, segregation was Biblical. That's what we were taught, and that was after the Brown v Board of Education decision.
As Judge Bazile wrote in his decision which was overturned "Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."
They don't overturn precedents as far as I recall. That's why Kavanaugh and another justice didn't vote as conservatives expected. Scare tactics of the Loony Left who prefer feeeeelings over facts.
The only people saying they would stack the Court are Dems
And once they've made it ok to not serve gay people, they'll revisit who gets to sit at a restaurant's lunch counter.
Changes marry to serve...then tries to claim the Supreme Court will reverse decades of civil rights that it doesn't have the power to do.
That was patently dishonest.
P.S. One of the two justices that objected is the only black man on the court. Guess you don't value his viewpoint and it takes a lot of nerve to accuse a black man of helping to reintroduce lunch counters, one could even argue it's somewhat offensive to watch you make such claims of someone whose family went through that.
Guess live and let live is too much for some people...
The article is a bit of hysterics and theatrics. Only 2 justices of the 9 wrote about issues with impinging upon religious freedoms.
I personally support gay marriage but I also recognize that there is a DIVERSITY of opinion on the topic and some people have religious views that I don't agree with but oh well.
It's almost election time so the trolling about (another thread) the dems taking away medicare or the repubs abolishing abortion are par for the course.
You old enough to remember when there was a frenzy to stop the roberts confirmation because he's overturn Roe vs. Wade? Don't be so easily trolled.
Guess live and let live is too much for some people...
Indeed. Instead of actual issues that need to be addressed, they're wasting time talking about a non-issue. Why should anyone care that two people who love each other would want to be married?
