U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia took a swipe at California in his dissent of Friday’s landmark 5-4 ruling that made gay marriage a constitutionally protected right under the Fourteenth Amendment and legal in all 50 states.
The Internet’s biggest companies celebrated Saturday after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling Friday making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states.
Bottom line: the Marriage Mandate is an idea whose time has come. It combines the reasoning of the Supreme Court’s decisions on ObamaCare, gay marriage, and disparate impact into one atomic fireball of compulsory social justice. Conservatives will love the results, while statists will love the methods.

A newspaper in Harrisburg, PA has announced henceforth it intends to censor certain views about marriage deemed no better than racism, sexism, anti-Semitism.
The U.S. Supreme Court mandated same-sex marriage a constitutional right Friday. Of those cheering, none were likely happier than Robert E. Blackmon, the author of The Gay Groom’s Guide.
Followers of Barack Obama’s White House social media accounts got an extra treat Friday after the Supreme Court declared a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
Author Fredrik deBoer argues that Chief Justice John Roberts is correct in his dissent on same-sex marriage declaring that “the majority’s reasoning would apply with equal force” to plural marriage–and that’s not a bad thing.
Babin’s bill would force Supreme Court justices and their staff to enroll in ObamaCare, evidently through the federal exchange, although now that Chief Justice Roberts has decreed there is no difference between the federal and state exchanges, that shouldn’t be an important detail.
Republican presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz dubbed the Supreme Court’s rulings on Obamacare and same-sex marriage as “some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history” on Friday’s “Sean Hannity Show.” Cruz began by saying, “Today is
Friday’s case will go down in US judicial history as one of our nation’s most misguided decisions. Fortunately, the four dissenting justices have also furnished the country with a goldmine of rational, lucid arguments that could eventually serve as the foundation stones to rebuild what has been lost.
It might be possible for the contours of healthy society to return, if gay marriage advocates collect their victory, show respect for the sincere believes of those who disagree, and let everyone get on with their lives. That’s not going to happen.
As the mainstream media takes a boisterous victory lap over the Supreme Court’s declaration of nationwide same-sex marriage, the Washington Post took the extra step of invoking the divine.
Friday from the Rose Garden, President Barack Obama endorsed the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. Transcript as follows: Obama said, “Our nation was founded on a bedrock principle, that we are all created equal. The project of each
“Today is a big step in our march toward equality. Gay and lesbian couples now have the right to marry, just like anyone else,” he wrote on his Twitter account. He signed his message with the hashtag “#LoveWins.”
“The Supreme Court’s Obamacare acrobatics should dispel for good the comforting illusion that we can rely on judges to save us,” Sessions said in a statement.
Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh argued that the Supreme Court’s ruling in King v. Burwell was a ruling that “words, and therefore laws, have no meaning” on Thursday. “I mean, the chief justice took it upon himself to interpret the law again.
This is a very bad precedent to set, especially if Roberts’ reasoning is followed to the conclusion that the bigger and more ambiguously-written a law is, the more untrammeled executive power it grants. No matter what ultimately becomes of ObamaCare, that will come back to haunt us in many other contexts in the future.
“The Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” he announced from the podium, noting that Republicans had been working for years to bring it down. “As the dust has settled, there can be no doubt that this law is working,” he added.
ObamaCare lives. The rule of law is dead. On a 6-3 vote in the King v. Burwell case, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy joining the liberal bloc vote of Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, the Court decided to allow the federal ObamaCare exchanges to continue distributing taxpayer subsidies for health insurance, even though the Affordable Care Act explicitly reserves those subsidies for state exchanges.
The ACA clearly states subsidies may only be paid to individuals who qualify on the basis of income, “through an Exchange established by the State.”
On June 19, a Puerto Rican commonwealth court abolished the territory’s registry and licensing requirements for firearms, thereby making the Second Amendment the only requisite necessary to carry firearms openly or concealed.
Two imminent Supreme Court decisions will be rendered in June, one that will affect some Californians significantly and another that is expected to affect at least 34 states, but not California. The Court’s decision in Obergefell vs. Hodges, which will decide if same-sex marriage must be legalized in all fifty states, will affect gay couples in California, including Placentia residents Matthew Mansell and John “Johno” Espejo, who live with their two adopted children and joined the case as two of the 30 plaintiffs.
Everyone knew Gruber was critical to ObamaCare, and when he was caught on tape high-fiving himself for helping to fool what he described as “stupid” American voters with the Affordable Care Act’s web of false promises and ludicrous projections, he was speaking from the Administration’s heart.
