Cythereal posted:So, have any of the talking heads lost their mind on national television over the Supreme Court decision yet? None of them are really vehemently anti-gay. They'll do a token shout out to "ignoring the will of the voters" or some poo poo but none of them are that kind of conservative. The only group they are able to muster genuine hatred for is the poor.

I saw this and watched since I am a local in Oklahoma City. http://video.foxnews.com/v/3817849215001/inside-oklahoma-beheading-suspects-mosque/#sp=show-clips Looks like they found an anonymous white guy to talk about his experiences in the Oklahoma City mosque. Didn't take long for him to bring up  taqiya. I have been to interfaith services there and my hippy liberal church has the imam over about once a quarter and I can say that I have never experienced any of what this guy is stating. It is convenient that Kelly gives him credit while slamming the mosque for saying, we aren't talking to media. I am sick at my stomach over the beheading, but I am 100% positive that the mosque in Oklahoma City does not condone his actions nor would they support a western caliphate. If it were true, he wouldn't hide behind a black screen. I wanna puke.

Oh man, I may need to turn on my Color TV for once just to see the tears. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/10/06/354053308/supreme-court-won-t-hear-gay-marriage-cases-in-new-term Supreme Court Won't Hear Gay Marriage Cases In New Term quote:The Supreme Court's new term will not include any cases that might decide the issue of same-sex marriage in the U.S., a development that comes after many lower and appeals courts have ruled against states' bans on gay marriage. Advocates on both sides of the issue have been calling for the high court to review the issue and make an official ruling.  Wow, the Supreme Court ended its streak of being miserable, evil assholes that hate human rights. "Get this poo poo out of here" is a sick burn. From the  front page:quote:In Utah, Gov. Gary Herbert said he was "surprised" and "disappointed" by Monday's development. But the Republican governor said that "while I continue to believe that the states do have the right to define marriage and create laws regarding marriage, ultimately we are a nation of laws, and we here in Utah will uphold the law."  We must recognize the law, can't just disenfranchise queers at will

The talk in the SCOTUS thread is that the conservative judges are doing this to stop gay marriage on a national level and are just waiting to take the case when it's more in their favor so while it's nice it's not another 5-4 gently caress YOU it's not exactly the best either.

What does "more in their favor" mean in this context? Popular support is going to continue to go against them and the longer they wait the more ramifications there will be ending tens of thousands of legal marriages. That doesn't make any sense.

Even if that weren't the case, I can't see how it makes any difference. Ruling in favor of marriage equality now doesn't hinder a ruling against it later. We've had the court directly reverse itself before.

Suppose, for a moment, that the Republicans win big before 2020 and Ginsberg is replaced by a conservative administration, the "moral majority" can try these cases again. If the current Supreme Court took up gay marriage bans, they'd likely find them unconstitutional, putting the nail in that particular coffin. By punting, the Supreme Court leaves the door open for future challenges.

There is no difference except what precedent is left, and gently caress knows a conservative majority would be happy to toss that aside.

As this was a screenshot retweeted by Josh Marshall I don't have -- nor want -- a link to its origins, but here, have this face. Yes it's that same dirt-dumb dingus who concocted a vote buying scandal in the Mississippi GOP Senate run-off. fake edit: Okay, I succumbed. Kind of glad I did. Check this sterling journalism (and general editing): http://dailycaller.com/2014/01/03/benghazi-reporter-kirkpatrick-showed-his-naked-body-to-all-in-college/ The Dingus in Question posted:A spoof January 22, 1990 article in article in The Daily Princetonian* described “Kinky” Kirkpatrick as having a “rather unusual habit of disrobing for photographers in public places” and reported that he had posed for Playgirl and participated in the Nude Olympics. real edit: whoa this was from many moons ago, wasn't it.

Of loving course my family still bought the whole drat thing. I happened to be driving during Hannity's radio show yesterday and decided to tune in. He played 'chilling audio' (I don't know where Hannity got a recording of it) where the imam of OKC was talking about how he knows the gentleman who went on fox and lied. About how fox was the only media outfit to disrespect their mosque and force their way in. About how they are being portrayed as villains on fox despite leading the charge in recent community disasters (tornadoes). And how the imam forgives him, and that there are thousands of people who would point by point take apart the guy's claims. The imam went on to compel the audience to forgive the individual as well. Stating they did their duty as a congregation when he needed money for food and gas. (Normal stuff when a group of people experiences a tragedy) Hannity actually called that chilling. And his side kick said 'of course the imam has a thousand people who will tear apart his [the guy who spoke to kelly] claims, the imam will kill them if they don't.' I wish I could find a goddamn transcript. His website is so lovely. I don't want to Godwin too hard here, but this language from the right is getting out of control.

They claim that Johnson traveled around with $250,000 of the investors’ money in cash, which he kept in a backpack he’d sometimes leave in his jeep; that he drank in bars and gambled on roulette with their money; that he fed his dog imported salmon; that he may have been involved with scams to sell phony passports; and that he still refuses to disclose the full list of investors in the project. We don't need the SEC because rational businessmen would demand full disclosure without having to submit to tyranny. Best part quote:Berwick is sticking to his libertarian principals and not taking part in any legal action against his former partner. He’s resigned to taking a heavy loss in this affair

Plus if a future SCOTUS is willing to suddenly annul the marriages of hundreds of thousands of people, causing unimaginable chaos in taxes, ownership, child custody, and even peoples' freaking names, I don't think having to overturn a previous ruling on top of it is what's going to make them back down. It seems like denying cert was the best thing for gay rights anyway. If they'd taken the case, people in those states would have to wait until (probably) the very last day of the session to get married. By denying that, not only did marriages begin yesterday, but there's no way overturning the ban in any future circuit is going to get stayed now that SCOTUS has shown it's not interested in taking appeals about this.
