It will be a cold day in you-know-where when I begin to get my morality from the SCOTUS.
The Supreme Court decided today it will hear two cases surrouding gay marriage with rulings coming down as Spring 2013. More from POLITICO:
The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will take up same-sex marriage, hearing both a case stemming from California’s Proposition 8 voter-approved ban on gay marriage and a case from New York challenging the constitutionality of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act.
The pair of moves greatly increase the chances that the justices will rule this term on whether the U.S. Constitution guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry. However,...
The fact that Republicans think this is a "logical extension" of the doctrine makes zero sense. The Supreme Court is well-grounded in the notion that two consenting adults can enter into a marriage. That general proposition has not changed simply because the gender roles are eliminated.
And to anyone who would say that general proposition will fall as well, I would ask them to take a look at court precedent surrounding marriage. It's pretty clear that applying equal protection to the institution of marriage isn't going to lead to polygamy or "inter-species" relationships (that's just ridiculous). That the right can't see the differences between homosexuality and the relationships mentioned above shows simple ignorance.
You know what guys like you used to say to oppose interracial marriage? They used to say that you shouldn't make it legal because blacks and whites were SO different that any union between black and white couldn't produce children...
