Roberts’ dissent:

I support you all
No, really, I do, but this
Isn’t our problem.

Alito’s dissent:

“Happiness is not
the point of marriage, fools. It’s
BABIES,” he whispered.

Thomas’ dissent:

“Liberty” – this word,
I do not think Locke means what
You think it means. Sigh.

Scalia’s dissent:

You’re not a poet,
Kennedy. And by the way,
Democracy’s dead.

Kennedy’s majority decision:

Hark! Love is love, and
love is love is love is love.
It is so ordered.

The gays have dealt such a severe blow to Christian family values that they have retconned my entire life. I used to be a respectable man from a stable family. Now I'm a godless atheist working as a gay prostitute in San Francisco after being Recruited at the tender age of thirteen following my parents' bitter divorce. Gay marriage ruined my life.

I'm, like, ten years ahead of Rand Paul.

The Constitution was written by wise men who were raised up by God for that very purpose. There is a reason ours was the first where rights came from our creator and therefore could not be taken away by government. Government was instituted to protect them.

The government wouldn't have to say "Yes, X and Y can be married. Suck it up Buttercup." if people weren't such ******* bigots in the first place.

With that said, Rand Paul went off the far crazy end of the nutjob pool later in that statement, when he said:



Utter and complete idiocy. If there is a God, he/she/it had NOTHING to do with the constitution of the USA, or the people who wrote it. Your rights come from what you can claim for yourself through whatever means you use, nothing more. Even the vast majority of Christians would agree with me on this -- the entire concept that Jesus somehow favors this tiny minority of American Christians over all the other Christians in the world is offensive. The idea is more incoherent when you realize that the constitution was primarily written by, and America was primarily founded by non-Christian deists.

The Gov't wouldn't have to say anything if the Gov't hadn't involved itself in the first place. The Gov't shouldn't be presiding over a marriage contract any more than it should preside over an employment contract, or a mortgage contract.

And that's why Christians are so dogged in their insistence that the founding fathers were Christian. It would be absolutely terrifying for them if they thought they lived under laws drafted by early proto-atheists.

it does dispel the myth that everyone involved in the founding are enlighten deists or worse.

There's nothing "idiotic" about it, since everything said there is unknowable. You might take exception to people stating it as fact when it's unknowable, but you state your own unknowable beliefs as fact all the time because it drives you nuts hearing stuff like this. Calling it "idiocy" is about your own issues, not it actually being stupid.
