Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
" I am being treated like this horrible mean intolerant person"
What? People think you are a big meanie? Sadly if what people thought of us (even if they didn't express it) was the basis of what should be legal or illegal, then Miss Manners and Emily Post would be on the Supreme Court instead.

t basking in the fantasy of Miss Manners and her clear logic and deceptively sharp tongue handing down legal rulings and responding to Scalia
Well, as wonderful as it is to update reactions, I need to run some errands before the hellmouth fully opens for the day.
Man, Scalia is such a grump. It's almost entertaining to read except he's so wrong it hurts.
And yeah, Supreme Court is not exactly forefront of this battle--it's not like they made this decision 20 years ago when no states had legalized and public opinion majority wasn't for it. That would be pushing on the people (not that it would've been wrong but whatever). Now? Please.
What confounds is that Scalia and Roberts both talk about letting democracy and legislating take their course. And yet, they struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act which was a legislative victory for inclusive democracy.
pfft.
people who oppose SSM will be branded bigots,
Because they are bigots! Sorry, Tep's Aunt.
::heats up branding iron::
Own it.
Fulton County just announced a mass wedding ceremony at 1 today at the government center in downtown Atlanta. I feel like I should be taking flowers or something, but I have a !@#$% medical appointment that had to be rescheduled to today because of incompetence.
Also, people have already been gay married today in Georgia and the sky hasn't fallen.
Because they are bigots! Sorry, Tep's Aunt.
Naw, man, she's totally a bigot, hiding behind the Bible.
Oh, also: anyone who knows how involved clerks are in writing the decisions? Because I suddenly had this image of various clerks running around with thesauruses going "ooh! How about 'jiggery-pokery'?!? That sounds like something he'd use right?"
My issue is who cares if someone thinks you are a bigot or a big meanie? I mean, what? You own your opinions and if it makes people think badly of you? So be it.
In other words, not a sound argument for me.
