Besides, Sodom and Gommorah did other reprehensible things. For instance, in keeping with the teachings of Ayn Rand, they prohibited charity.

I will never understand Christians who support Free-market Capitalism. Let alone the quote "It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of an needle than it is a rich man* to enter Heaven."

*Includes Pat Robertson, the richest Evangelical Christian in the world and a staunch supporter of Free-market Capitalism who also provided almost nothing to charity and owns a gold mine in an African nation.

Apparently, even though conservatives lost and have absolutely ZERO valid arguments in favor of Prop 8, they're still fighting to keep it and DOMA.  The Supreme Court seems to be humoring them.

I never realized, "ew, it's icky!" was a valid argument.

I heard inklings of that but I thought it was just them bitching. Am I the only one that kinda hopes the Supremes allow the re-hearing? So they're all "okay, we'll grant you standing, now let's decide this one on the merits....oh, look at that, marriage equality is legal across the land!"

It's a nice thought, Itachi, but with Scalia on the court, he'd sooner commit political suicide than side with Kagan or Sotomayor.

According to a new article I saw earlier, Kennedy refused to stop the marriages.

He sided with Kagan when both joined Roberts' opinion to deny standing in Perry.

So having read through the Windsor and Perry decisions, I'm left with one impression:

Scalia is right on the following point:

Kennedy is chomping at the bit to say, essentially, this: "Fuck y'all, same-sex marriage is legal, SO SAITH JUSTICE ANTHONY KENNEDYTHE SUPREME COURT." Whatever his assurances in Lawrence and Windsor that his reasoning there wouldn't apply to such a case (though he did use Lawrence in Windsor), I have a very strong inclination that when that case (brought by someone whom everyone can agree has standing) comes before the Court, his decision will a) depend on Lawrence and Windsor and b) boil down to the above.

I'm not entirely sure I like that.
I do. Democracy only works when those with power are not douchewagons. Those with power are douchewagons. Therefore, democracy cannot work here.

Those people want everything to go their way. And when it doesn't go their way, they would do something to make it their way until it finally happens. It's like taking all the ice cream and never giving any of it to anyone else and bitching and going apeshit when they do get "your" ice cream, then later, you hog the damn machine again when they're not there (possibly because you've done away with that person).

And then there's losing for good. God forbid the privileged one be a loser once. They'll claim it's the end of the world and other shit if that happens.
