Is there a good channel to watch this on besides following on SCOTUSBlog? CNN is running commercials and terrorism stories and it is awful.

Depends what you are looking for. If just SSM, it's virtually guaranteed that every network will cut to a story about that if released today. Possible death penalty too, or at least a ticker for it. Everything else seems out of the public eye.

Kennedy is of course still reading. No way to know yet whether someone will read a dissent, although I would guess that someone might. - See more at: http://live.scotusblog.com/Event/Live_blog_of_opinions__June_26_2015#sthash.CLW3LkqH.dpuf

It's a thick one, as the four dissents might suggest. - See more at: http://live.scotusblog.com/Event/Live_blog_of_opinions__June_26_2015#sthash.CLW3LkqH.dpuf

For what it's worth, the opinion is not in a booklet form, either because it was too thick and/or it was finished too recently. - See more at: http://live.scotusblog.com/Event/Live_blog_of_opinions__June_26_2015#sthash.CLW3LkqH.dpuf


For all that writing, Kennedy better have talked about scrutiny.

The history of marriage is on
e of both continuity and change.
Changes, such as the decline of arranged marriages and the abandonment
of the law of coverture,
have worked deep transformations
in the structure of marriage, affecting aspects of marriage once
viewed as essential. These new
insights have strengthened, not
weakened, the institution. Changed understandings of marriage are
characteristic of a Nation where
new dimensions of freedom become
apparent to new generations

Oh my god Scalia

I join THE CHIEF JUSTICE’s opinion in full. I write separately
to call attention to this Court’s threat to American
democracy.
The substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal
importance to me. The law can recognize as marriage
whatever sexual attachments and living arrangements
it wishes, and can accord them favorable civil
consequences, from tax treatment to rights of inheritance.

2 OBERGEFELL v. HODGES
SCALIA, J., dissenting
Those civil consequences—and the public approval that
conferring the name of marriage evidences—can perhaps
have adverse social effects, but no more adverse than the
effects of many other controversial laws. So it is not of
special importance to me what the law says about marriage.
It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it
is that rules me. Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and
the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a
majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The
opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—
and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the
Court’s claimed power to create “liberties” that the Constitution
and its Amendments neglect to mention. This
practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee
of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant
praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important
liberty they asserted in the Declaration of
Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the
freedom to govern themselves.

From the majority:
"Especially against a long history of disapproval of their relationships, this denial to same-sex couples of the right to marry works a grave and continuing harm. The imposition of this disability on gays and lesbians serves to disrespect and subordinate them. And the Equal Protection Clause, like the Due Process Clause, prohibits this unjustified infringement of the fundamental right to marry"
