All I know that 5 non-elected people have the right to make up laws.

Yes!  That is one huge issue.  The Supreme Court shouldn't be making laws only interpreting them and making a decision of if a law is constitutional or not.  They made laws this year which is wrong.

I think the decision was indeed flawed, however, you can make an argument that this was a decision as to whether or not the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applied to State marriage laws - which is interpreting the Constitution, a legitimate function of the court.

The Fourteenth Amendment which was intended to make all slaves American Citizens (because the democrat owned states didn't want the slaves to be citizens and somehow the amendment was bastardized into an anchor baby law)... That's Fourteenth Amendment?

It was a bit more than that . . . "No state shall deny the equal protection of the laws to any citizen" is a pretty sweeping ruling.

It's cute how they pick and choose parts of the law. The fourteenth Amendment also says...

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

Which means that those pregnant Mexican mothers must enter the USA Legally First.


Also I find it odd... that we had all the Segregation Bulls**t in the early part of the 19th century when the 14th Amendment say's otherwise.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I'm reading this 50 times and I don't see how a state was allowed to have 'colored people signs' or make 'black people sit in back of the bus'

Yet, we got the supreme court seeing that this clause as equal rights for gay marriage... Nice...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
