All day long I was wondering if, in the future, we will look at people who oppose marriage rights in the same way we look at people today who think there should still be separate drinking fountains.

I sure hope so.

I can't wait to have to explain to my grandkids the answer to the inevitable question.... "Why?" And try to define the mindset of people I don't understand even though we live in the same time.

I'm kind of disappointed in learning how ignorant some of high school classmates are that have friended me on Facebook. I guess there's reason we haven't made contact in 30 years.

So, who's going to catch the bouquet and be next?

Stan4dSteph · 08-05-2010, 07:29 AM

I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'm really glad that I was busy last night. Got to miss the expected ignoramus comments.

A reviewing court does not have to upset any of the findings of fact to apply the legal standard of whether the law meets the low rational basis standard for constitutionality. Scalia's view is that states may enact moral judgments so long as they do not intrude on any constitutionally protected class, so his threshold for rationality is certain to be very low, if indeed, he doesn't find a way to skirt the standard of review entirely.

Yeah, Scalia is a real c0cksucker, and I don't mean that in the good way.
