Santorum tweets!

The Court is 1 of 3 coequal branches of government & they have an imperfect record. Stakes are too high to cede marriage to unelected judges


Rick Santorum ‏@RickSantorum 19m19 minutes ago
Today, 5 unelected judges redefined the foundational unit of society. Now it is the people's turn to speak #Marriage

What has our nation become? A sad day. A very sad day.

lol

 

[Pillville]

This cracked me up:

Needed an Obamacare reference too.

 

[DNAbro]

I stand up for my beliefs. I could care less about being banned or any negative reactions. The world will always be corrupt and this ruling is just a sign of the times. Ending in ultimate chaos and destruction.

lol

Imagine all the lurkers who think the same but just don't dare to post.

How does allowing gay people to marry lead to chaos and destruction? I want to hear your beliefs.

 

[Ecotic]

Obama won in 2008 though and replaced Souter and Stevens with Sotomayor and Kagan which ultimately made today possible.

And it will be a beautiful rainbow colored chaos.

Nice knowing you!

By the way, can someone check on Westboro Baptist Church? They might have imploded.

 

[MIMIC]

Awesome speech by the lead plaintiff

 

[Camwi]

Major props to Joe Biden for being the primary impetus for change on this issue nationwide, shocking the Obama administration and forcing its hand in support of gay marriage, eventually leading to a state-by-state domino effect and majority national support, and now this decision. I'm not giving any credit to Obama for this one, after all his years of noncommittal civil union bullshit. Joe can sit in my auntie's lap at the local diner with the bikers any day.

Hear hear.

Nailed it. Obama waffled on the subject until it was socially acceptable to go all in.

<3 Biden

Fantastic.

Great news to start the weekend with.

I can't imagine what it feels like living in hate for others and fearing for some fucking apocalypse over a court ruling.

 

[Majine]

I guess that one christian couple have to divorce now.

 

[Kouichi]

Fantastic news!

I said the same thing about Terminator Genisys and nobody would listen.

 

[Suikoguy]

I'm really surprised by Roberts, he will presumably be on the court for many more years while the other dip-shits probably won't be.

Only a bit surprised the other 3 want to die looking like total assholes. Although, some of those bits of the descent are appalling.

I said the same thing about Terminator Genisys and nobody would listen.

Some classic lines coming from this thread. bwhahah

A man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman is a sign of ultimate chaos and destruction?

 

[Fenderputty]

What has our nation become? A sad day. A very sad day.

Assuming you're not just blowing your account up. It became a freer and more just one today. A more inclusive and welcoming one. One where bigots can't use state means to suppress other people's freedoms.

Fuck bigots.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

This cracked me up:

Bahaha.

 

[Szu]

Reminds of him.

 

[KillGore]

Congrats USA. You should be proud.

This also means Puerto Rico will allow gay marriage, and I know that without you guys, we would've never legalize it. Our island is too dependent on religion. So this is awesome!

A Vice President alone can't get shit done. You're right in that he began the initiative but he sure as hell could not finish it alone.

 

[Kuga]

This is a wonderful day. I need to go read the opinions.

 

[kaskade]

This is awesome news. Between this and ACA we are making some actual moves.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Anyone care to link conservative responses? I want to read them

 

[alr1ght]

I can't wait for George Takei to wake up to this news. Awaiting a tweet.

This "I could care less" crap again, come on! Use proper English! What has this country become?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I guess that one christian couple have to divorce now.

I think that was an Australian couple.

Anyway, congrats! Awesome day and week for the US Supreme Court and of course lovers everywhere!

 

[Vanish]

Awesome. Hopefully we can start moving forward in other important issues as well.

Just curious though; does this mean that a gay couple can get married immediately in any state now or is there some waiting period before it comes into effect? Excuse my ignorance.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

This is such a historic day. I'm almost in tears. I'm glad the LGBT community can join the rest of us in basic human rights. This has taken too long but has finally happened! I'm so damn happy right now.

[sikkinixx]

So happy this is finally over. I will admit Chief Justice Roberts dissenting opinion was more down to earth then the others. I understand where he is coming from but at the same time this needed to be done

This is his opinion

I agree. His is written quite well and I can see his point of view on it.

Scalia's is fucking hilarious though.

SCOTUS rulings seem a bit different than the Canadian ones I'm used to reading, a lot more... informal than I would expect from the dissenting opinions (Roberts excluded)

 

[anotherVegan]

My god. This is amazing. The persecution complex.

#ICant

The bible also prohibits shaving, eating shellfish, and mixing threads in clothing. So in theory they should all go after barber shops, Red Lobster, and anyone who makes clothes.

So happy for the SCOTUS. Liking the Obama reaction. Great day to be an American.

 

[DragonSworne]

The dissenting opinions are a joke, especially when you consider the 2000 election and how Bush won.

The voting process was circumventing and the decision of who will become President came down to 9 people who were overwhelming conservative. They picked bush, they picked the wrong man.

The only thing corrupt is your grammar.

Hey, there's nothing wrong in feeling sad about other people feeling happy, for finally being treated like humans.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

So you're really just a bigoted piece of shit.

I can't wait for people like you to disappear from this world, and hopefully you'll take your irrelevant views with you.

This isn't just a victory for gay people, it's a victory for freedom and love everywhere.

 

[Damaniel]

What has our nation become?

Slightly more awesome.

Standing up for beliefs when they are wrong in the face of evidence, is no longer courage, but stubbornness.

 

[thefro]

Nailed it. Obama waffled on the subject until it was socially acceptable to go all in.

At least once he started running for statewide office
