No, it says that allowing slavery was totally uninvolved with slavery happening. Which is, ummm...

Centuries after the Emancipation Proclamation technically outlawed slavery, the legacy of slavery endures in the form of systemic racism and non-codified segregation. A Good Opinion.

Quick, get a statistician, I'm pretty sure we can show a correlation between slavery not being illegal and slavery happening.

Times like this that I wish Chuck Asay didn't retire. Good job, SCOTUS. It's not often I get to say that.

Considering sex with inmates is defined as sexual assault, this reads more like a disturbing truth than a satire.

seiferguy posted:Most conservative cartoonists will probably avoid the topic, because gay marriage is now a topic that if you're against it, you get shamed like crazy (good - we should do this to anti-vaxxers too!). I might expect a hilariously bad one from Branco, Jarlsberg, and maybe Lester who have no shame in their bigotry, but I think the Ramirez's and McCoy's of the world will quietly avoid this.

What does the ruling mean, right now? Are they going to pick a date when gay marriage is federally recognized whether an individual state wants to pout and stomp its feet or not? Is that date today?

loquacius posted:His dissent against the Obamacare decision used the phrases "jiggery-pokery" and "pure applesauce" I was just reading an article about that: The use of "pure applesauce" to mean "nonsense," as Scalia uses it, was new to me but does show up in the Google Books database. A completely unscientific eyeballing of those results suggests it was most popular, if "popular" is the right word, during the last century. In this biography of P.G. Wodehouse, for example, the author mentions it as an example of the "Pooterish Edwardian slang" Wodehouse used in the 1910 book Psmith in the City, along with "perfect rot" and "give me the pip" (to irritate). In 1970, Time magazine described an author as "a colloidal suspension of William Buckley, William Blake and Herbert Marcuse in pure applesauce," which was not at all a compliment, but in the last few decades "pure applesauce" has generally been used to mean just pure applesauce.

Is that date today? I think it might be more at the county level. Travis County (Austin) is doing it right now while our AG is still busy holding his breath and kicking on the floor.

Is that date today? I'm not a lawyer but, it means same-sex couples already married don't have to file separate federal tax returns, same-sex couples already married have to be recognized by all states, same-sex couples have to receive all equal benefits as hetero married couples, and all states have to accept applications for marriage licences for same-sex couples. I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee or Texas drags their feet a bit, but if they do it too much they'll get a Federal telling-to. The date is today.

Certain states are reacting differently. Kentucky is now issuing marriage licenses, Texas is dragging their feet, and Mississippi (surprise!) is actively fighting it.

How can Texas be dragging their feet on a ruling that happened like an hour ago I mean it takes a couple weeks to get your drivers license renewed and my state doesn't actively hate some people getting a drivers license how can you tell they're already being dicks about it in an hour unless you mean some state representatives tweeted a thumbs down emoji next to a rainbow one?

Working from this principle, Thomas insists that the petitioners in the case “have in no way been deprived” of their liberty. ... How are laws against gay marriage not not government action against those people? He defines liberty then denies that gay marriage bans are in violation of that liberty. He's crazy, almost as unhinged as Scalia. You could say ... divorced from reality.

Last time a federal ruling legalized gay marriage in Alabama, the state Supreme Court said to ignore it. They might legitimately not know whether they should issue marriage licenses.

Sardine Wit posted:Here's one way of dragging your feet. A lot of places recognized this was going to happen, and went ahead and changed the relevant forms to have gender-neutral entry fields rather than strictly husband and wife. If a state hasn't done this and refuses to process a marriage application due to "We can't do that, we have to update the forms, check back in 6-8 weeks (while we try and figure out a way to fight or get around this)" then they're dragging their feet. Georgia is already issuing same-sex marriage licenses, and I think they started shortly after the ruling was announced.

Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Most Buck-Wild Pride Parade Nation’s Ever Seen http://www.theonion.com/article/supreme-court-rules-favor-most-buck-wild-pride-par-50768 Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion, ... "We’re talking half-naked lesbians covered in body paint, rollerblading homosexuals in brightly colored Native American headdresses and sparkling gold briefs, as well as hundreds of thousands of supporters losing their loving minds while ‘I Will Survive’ blares at 150 decibels. This is going to be an absolute poo poo show.” prefect posted:It's really simple. The government isn't taking anything away from them; it's just not giving them something that other people have.
