5 Reasons the Supreme Court Might Change Its Mind on Same-Sex Marriage

Kimberly Wehle: Marriage equality is popular, but a lot has changed since Obergefell.

More

In October the Supreme Court may decide whether or not to hear Kim Davis's case.

Given the current makeup of this court, some believe there is a stronger chance they will accept her case.

However, if this court doesn't agree to hear the case, my opinion is Gay Marriage is likely safe for years to come.

Comments

The only reason that Gay Marriage may be at risk would be to Pres Trump's stuffing of the Supreme Court.

Just look at Dobbs, and the judicial gyrations a couple Justices had to go through in an attempt to ~justify~ their opinion.

This is likely one the issues Unkle Thomas is talking about when he disses the whole concept of Precedent when making Law.

Equal Rights for individuals under the law is the goal, not particular agendas.

@#3 ... You can only pack so much fudge before it overflows. ...

The point being?

The point being?

The point being that only a ----------- won't get the point. Everyone else gets it.

Lamp,

"The only reason that Gay Marriage may be at risk would be to Pres Trump's stuffing of the Supreme Court."

The alternative was Hillary winning and letting her select the nominees.

If that had occurred I fear the worst case could be possible. We might see the Supreme Court codify women accepting males into their restrooms.

I mean, I never expected to see Gay Marriage pass and it did. I didn't expect it. What else is possible?

If Maybe church doctrine teaching homosexuality is a sin is discrimination and force churches to modify their doctrine or at least stop teaching it? Freedom of Religion might be at risk if liberals could handily win in the Supreme Court. Freedom of Speech could be at risk.

I'm all for gay couples getting legal protection. Don't get me wrong.

However, I feared 3 more liberal judges on the court would probably give them everything they ever wanted.

Hopefully, in October the court will make the right decision.

I didn't mean to post yet....fat fingers.

I meant this.....

If Hillary had won, maybe church doctrine teaching homosexuality is a sin would be considered "discrimination" and force churches to modify their doctrine or at least stop teaching it? Freedom of Religion might be at risk if liberals could handily win in the Supreme Court. Freedom of Speech could be at risk.

That's hilarious.

Corky,

Funny it's not.

Sad you think it is.

The implications for the future of America if Hillary had won were chaos.

Imagine laxing the borders even more. She would have.

Would we be seeing a tidal wave of people from South America swamping the United States?

There's no indication that Hil would have forced churches to teach homosexuality.

Even when you try to change the subject to immigration.

Which makes it even funnier.

Corky,

"There's no indication that Hil would have forced churches to teach homosexuality."

Incomplete sentence but I got what you meant.

Hillary is not who might challenge churches teaching "homosexuality is a sin" and claim it is discrimination at the Supreme Court.

Hillary's part would be putting in 3 crazy left judges.

I'm not deflecting with immigration. I'm using it as something Hillary would have done had she won.

Trump has basically shut down the border.

Hillary would most certainly have opened the border further until all the Governors themselves started picketing the White House.

But let's go back to Gay Marriage.

Thanks, but you're not my type.

Besides, your grasp of English grammar rivals 1Nut's for being non-existent.

If Hillary would have won then we wouldn't have a Supreme Court that declared the President is immune from prosecution thus allowing him to have you murdered without due process

Yeah, no. There are six reasons, not five.

Huh?
