Obergefell V. Hodges
What a title to go into history. But in all the celebration, don't overlook the dissent from Justice Nutjob which begins on page 72 of the PDF of the Supreme Court's decision. In it he bemoans the fact that the Justices do not represent a cross section of the United States (like we hadn't already noticed that decades ago). He says that on the court there is "Not a single South-westerner or even, to tell the truth, a genuine Westerner (California does not count)." What is the ultimate western state if not a western state? Heaven maybe? A dry heaven, perhaps.
He seems to think that intimacy is greater if you have more sexual partners. (Does his wife know this?) First he quotes from the majority decision:
"The nature of marriage is that,through its enduring bond, two persons together can find other freedoms, such as expression, intimacy, and spirituality." (Really? Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality [whatever that means] were freedoms? And if intimacy is, one would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie.
"Hippie?" What planet has he been living on? Possibly worse, he dropped a closing parenthesis and no one on his staff caught it.
