    This is the culmination of a juggernaut trend in society. The SCOTUS decision was bound to happen sooner or later, so might as well get it over with. My guy Kennedy came up with just the vote and reasoning that I expected.

    I'll be interested to see how certain officials in Alabama respond to this, considering their previous obstinate resistance. Officials in my part of the country accepted court-imposed gay marriage without an audible whimper some time ago.

    And, except for Texas, good luck with trying to acquire any sort of pastor protection, or any other protection on religious grounds.

    That was promised to us, and went down the pipes at the very first marriage.
    And I have a feeling that the Texas law will be challenged and overturned. They want everything, as I have been saying all along. This is only the beginning.

    And they have some bozo (the "plaintiff"?) trying to equate this to the shooting in South Carolina.

    Meh - I think it's just symptomatic of our overall Slouching Towards Gomorrah.

    I think this is part of a greater Spiritual problem, not a political one. I think the "Providence of God" is being removed from our Nation because we, as a nation, have turned our backs on Him. We are, in that regard, becoming Europe.

    But there won't be.
