By a narrow 5-4 ruling, the court held that gay marriage cannot be banned by the states, even when the state's population has made it clear they do not want it.
Anthony Kennedy exhibited his continued journey from conservative justice to liberal outlook. He claims that the 14th amendment to the Constitution protects marriage of any sort to exist, everywhere.
By this tortured reasoning, any marriage between anyone, and anything, and in any number, is now legal. Expect a quick legal effort to make polygamy likewise legal, which will happen because 'love' is all that counts.
Next, expect an assault on religion. How can a church refuse to glorify same-sex marriage when it is supposedly protected by the Constitution (which, by the way, is silent on the subject. This is more reaching by the liberal majority on the court). I anticipate an early effort to censure any religion that refuses to perform same-sex weddings.
Already it's illegal for persons who for religious reasons to refuse to celebrate homosexual marriage. They will be fined harshly by the government if they don't jump up and down in joy when ordered by gay couples to do their bidding.
It will be interesting to see if any gays are foolish enough to demand that Muslims perform such weddings. They won't because they only demand those who will easily fold, such as Christians.
It's a sad day for America.
First the homosexuals want to change the law making it a crime to engage in their sexual behavior. Well, OK. Then they wanted to adopt children. Well, there's a shortage of adoptive parents, so, OK. Then they wanted to have spousal rights of joint ownership and survival benefits. I guess. Then they wanted gay marriage. Now they want us not only to tolerate their behavior, but to celebrate it.
If we don't enthusiastically scream our assent, then we are bigots and evil.
This is what America has come to. And we let it happen by electing liberals who have packed the court with looney leftists.
