Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage

I just can't get over how laughable this whole thing is. People who are vigorously arguing about protecting the integrity of the Constitution are seriously ignoring the god damn document they're allegedly trying to protect. It's unbelievable to me. Seriously unbelievable.
If you believe in the constitution, you are required to believe the Supreme Court is the law of the land. There is NO room to debate this. It is CLEARLY spelled out.

 

But they GOT IT WRONG!!!!!!!

Why is this not contempt of court?

 

Because no one has sued yet.

 

Can you be held in contempt of the Supreme Court? I'm just asking ... Do they have marshals, etc., at their disposal?

 

The amazing thing to me is, let's say for a minute the Supreme Court ruled Friday that marriage is absolutely "between one man and one woman" and cited some BS about marriage being about reproduction, blah blah blah.
Those of us here who possess more than a single digit IQ know damn well that the people most loudly decrying the Supreme Court's "judicial activism" would be the first ones demanding everyone respect the court's decision because the court is the rule maker.
Funny how winning or losing has a lot to do with how the right views the legitimacy of the Supreme Court. "The court's law is applicable when I agree with them, not when I don't."
It's really laughable.

 

You don't get to ignore the rulings you don't like. That's not the way it works.

 

Yes, it would, and I would have no problem with that.

And yes, privileging is a word.

 

But what they're really mad about is someone yelling, "SCOREBOARD!!"

 

Well then they shouldn't take such hard-line stances on social issues that will eventually be overturned by the highest court in our country huh?

 

Been in a coma? This is politics.

 

At the risk of running afoul of 93Devil's "Simple Words" police, I'll just say vide supra re: my characterization of the Supremes' recent on-base-percentage ...
