SCOTUS Gets it Right!

[Ron Thorne]

What beautiful words.


"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.

The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed. It is so ordered" - Justice Anthony Kennedy

It was a beautiful day for many of my friends, and I share their reflected joy.

And just a few days after the decision on Affordable Care Act...which, after a little direct experience, I couldn't help but support.

I wish my wife had been with me to share this week. She would have been overjoyed.

The SUpremes actually made three great rulings last week and Jerry Brown made a good one.
