Louisiana ruling breaks pro-gay marriage streak

Is that what you think Kennedy's opinion said? I'm with Scalia--it's so confused and garbled I'm really sure if it's based on equal protection of something else. But with your knowledge of constitutional law--which seems to be far beyond even Scalia's--apparently it's clear to you.

Scalia doesn't give a damn what the constitution says either. He oppresses particular groups using nothing but his personal hatred as justification. He's a walking caricature of the religious right.

More to the point, what is the basis for making homosexuals a protected class under the Fourteenth Amendment? I guess you know that amendment was directed at blacks.

Windsor referred to the 5th amendment, but there is no mention of race in the 14th. It was crafted to address race inequality, but while they were at it, added language to ensure *no one* would be deprived of equal protection. It covers everyone, period, and it's a damn good thing.

People like me? What the hell is that supposed to mean? This is the third time in a single post you have made a personally insulting remark. If you say anything like that to me again, I will report you for it. I came to this site for civil, intelligent debate--I can hear offensive nonsense from any dope on a bar stool.

Everything you've said has been personally insulting to homosexuals, so you don't deserve civility. I'm done with you, rest assured.
