In April, the Supreme Court decides if states have the right to ban same-sex marriage.
Another Religious Reich treatise on Obergefell v. Hodges? Get me the popcorn.
If the court denies that right then "States Rights" are over forever and only a federal ruling class will henceforth decide what states and individuals of those states can and cannot do.
Good riddance. "States' Rights" only brought us slavery, inequality, segregation, sectionalist crisis, etc.
With four Jews on the highest bench holding a pro-same-sex stance, the death of liberty is only one month away.
1. Sonia Sotomayor is Catholic.
2. Same-sex marriage is a rebirth of liberty.
3. The decision arrives in June, not April. April is when the cases are heard.
4. John Roberts and maybe Anthony Kennedy are speculated to rule in favour of equality. The refusal of Alito to halt same-sex marriage in Alabama is also telling.
The Founding Fathers considered sodomy and same-sex relations as morally repugnant crimes.
"Sodomy?" Questionable. Thomas Jefferson aimed to liberalise the sodomy laws in Virginia. Same-sex relations? Not likely. But it doesn't matter. The nation is not like it was in 1776, when slavery still existed.
That's why the Thirteen States adopted British sodomy laws which carried the death penalty.
Jefferson attempted to liberalise Virginia's sodomy law. And didn't the US liberate itself from the British?
But this is not what the debate is about. It's not a "14th Amendment" debate. It's not an 'animus' debate. It's a States Rights issue. Period.
Amendment XIV means that if there is a denial of rights based on animus nocendi, a will to harm, "states' rights" are irrelevant. Period.
What people do in private will have repercussions for them.
Lawrence v. Texas says hi.
You want to be a homosexual, go ahead. But don't override States Rights, our last shelter of freedom.
Don't override human rights, the last shelter of the people's freedoms.
Come April, "States Rights" is about to be sodomized forever.
That lends itself to a good metal band/album/song name.
