Supreme Court Rules Same-Sex Couples Have Right To Marry Nationwide
June 26, 2015 10:45 AM
(the moment America raised it's FIST at God)
Gay and lesbian couples already could marry in 36 states and the
District of Columbia. The court’s 5-4 ruling means the remaining 14
states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans
on same-sex marriage.
Gay rights supporters cheered, danced and wept outside the court when the decision was announced.
The outcome is the culmination of two decades of Supreme Court litigation over marriage, and gay rights generally.
Kennedy was joined by the four liberal justices of the court: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer.
Chief Justice John Roberts, along with Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented, and all wrote separate dissents.
Scalia wrote his dissent “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.”
“Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a
majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create “liberties” that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves,” Scalia wrote.
President Barack Obama called the ruling a “big step in our march toward equality.”
In a statement in the Rose Garden, Obama said that justice arrived like a thunderbolt.
“This ruling is a victory for America,” Obama said.
Hey Obama...here is another message that arrives like a thunderbolt: - Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; Luke 17:28
For they shake their fists at God,
defying the Almighty.
Job 15:25 NLT
But his citizens hated him,

What was it like in those days of Lot in Sodom?
They shouted to Lot, "Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have sex with them!" Genesis 19:5 NLT
For they shake their fists at God,
defying the Almighty.

But his citizens hated him,
and sent a message after him,
saying,
We will not have this man to reign over us.
