Enter the Thunder DOMA: One Law Enters, No Law Leaves

[scott]

DOMA ruled uncons utional, 5-4 with Kennedy the swing vote.

In dicessent, Scalia ironically writes that Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to overrule DOMA (but they can overrule 98-0 vote of VRA)

So the authoritarian moralists, Repugs, "Christian" supremacists, and Mormon cultists (who financed the CA campaign) get ed over. Praise the Lord!

If we ban gay marriage, only criminals will gay marry.

Shorter SCOTUS & TX Lege of last 48 hours: it's okay to be a woman or be gay, but not to be a minority.

[boutons_deux]

According to Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion for the Court, “[t]he federal statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and to injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity. By seeking to displace this protection and treating those persons as living in marriages less respected than others, the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment.”

SCOTUS dismisses Prop 8 on standing. Gay Marriage now legal in CA.

[scott]

How much more closest gay sex must far right wing leaders engage in to prove how dangerous it is to society?!?!?!?!?!

[boutons_deux]

According to Repugs, polygamy, bestiality, and destruction of all diff-sex marriages will follow, just like hyper-inflation followed the stimulus and QE, tax cuts create jobs and pay for themselves, etc, etc.

Do the Repugs, conservatives EVER get anything right?

Give it time. With this ruling SCOTUS has invited Satan to come and destroy your marriage.

If my time on Spurstalk has taught me anything it's that scoring wins games, defense wins les. The SSOL SCOTUS era has begun.

interesting dialogue going on in the nation right now. there are alot of folks saying marriage is an outdated ins ution but will turn around and celebrate LGBT marriage.

You have to do the laundry and I definitely get the TV remote control. Non-negotiable.

BTW, on a weather related note, I'd like to go ahead and dedicate this year's hurricane season to God's vengance against the Supreme Court.

Scalia is full of gems. One day after voting to overturn the VRA, he says he can't overturn VRA. Someone should ask him why he made the decision he did on the day before. Ridiculous.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Good riddance to an embarrassing law, tbh....

But I thought this SCOTUS was JINO and VRWC?

How was this vote along 'Pug and 'Demon lines?

One (or more) of the 'Pug justices must have came over to the flamers rights side, right?
