Re: Do you support legalizing gay marriage?
Wait, now you want to talk about sodomy? This thread is about marriage, dude.
Classic moving goalposts. You asked for a court case, I gave you one. Now apparently you only accept SCOTUS decisions. That's an interesting metric to use. I suppose the day before the Loving decision you would have vehemently argued that nobody had ever declared interracial marriage to be a right before, therefore it wasn't a right.The spam and ridiculous premises I have seen on these threads are your own. You haven't even the faintest grasp of the constitutional issues involved, as you've made painfully clear several times. You haven't offered any constitutional reasoning worth the name. I assume that's not because you're refusing to, but simply because you have none to offer. And I don't care that a federal appeals court has seen fit to declare a fundamental right to same-sex marriage.
Why don't you tell us all why that decision is so important to anyone outside the states in that jurisdiction? Please explain why, when the Court has so strongly shied away from taking the fundamental rights/strict scrutiny path on this subject, Anthony Kennedy will feel obliged to follow a lower federal court down it. Tell us why Kennedy, as Justice Scalia pointed out in his Lawrence dissent, even though he claimed to be overruling Bowers v. Hardwick, was so careful to leave intact Bowers' central holding: That there is no fundamental right to homosexual sodomy.
