Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said Monday that Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court case that mandated all states recognize same-sex marriages, is "found nowhere in the text" of the Constitution and threatens "the religious liberty of the many Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman." The statement was written by Thomas and joined by Alito about the case of Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk who said she would not give same-sex couples marriage licenses.

On this day when we thank God for our President’s continuing remarkable recovery, we can be also grateful for Justice Clarence Thomas who never lets us down.

Just like Dred Scott, it can be overturned.

Typical activist judges making law up from thin air and implementing the agenda of the left.

For years we had been told that all they wanted was "Civil Union" which would protect same-sex partners, giving them hospital visitations, unchallenged rights to an estate in which one was named as an heir, as a spouse would enjoy. Things like that would have been able to be written into a wholly invented new category without the transmogrification of marriage.
But no. That wasn't really what the goal was. Whether most people in that community understood it or not, the long-range view was the destruction of traditional marriage, another chop of the axe on Judeo-Christian foundations to which this Ship of State, the USA, has been anchored.
This lefty-marxo subterranean plotting which we're seeing bubbling up through the cinders and debris of covid-era riots is the same. The goal is the overthrow of our entire system, history, Constitutional structure and laws.

We all know that same-sex "marriage" is not really marriage at all. It is a piece of paper that makes the parties involved feel good, as if they actually were married.
I liken it to the "adoption" paper that came with each Cabbage Patch Doll. It made the little girls feel good, as if they actually had adopted a toddler, but in no way was it actually an adoption.

At the time the Constitution was written, nobody would admit to being a homosexual let alone demand to be married. People had much more to worry about back then and possessed true common sense.

But the key fact is that Kim Davis lost her job and her career and she is not getting it back because the courts decided we all have to pretend that a man can marry a man. The court refused to hear Davis's case. It does not matter at all what Alito and Thomas say at this point.

Remember the slippery slope they assured us would never materialize? Well, the country has taken a swift ride down It into the pool of perversion where the left is now making laws to protect pedophiles. The left is attempting to redefine an institution that God ordained. Regardless of what they see as their success, in actuality it is nothing more than rebellion against God. The selfish push for the definition “marriage” was a way to spit in the face of God. Now, it’s on them. They will bear the consequences while the rest of us understand the definition of marriage as defined by the Word of God. Period. Calling it civil unions would not do what they intended, defy God.

Whatever you think of gay marriage, Kennedy's swing vote was based on a bizarre opinion devoid of law. Kennedy more or less said 'those opposed are big meanies.' It's a bad decision, a bad case and courts don't get to redefine religious and cultural institutions.
