Good news, yet somehow depressing that the vote was only 5-4. I can't imagine being Scalia, knowing that in 50 years this fight will be seen through the same lens as civil rights before it, and simply saying "OK, I'm comfortable with being remembered as a villain in future textbooks. Put my picture next to the one of Wallace blocking the schoolhouse door."

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Damn. I hate when things like this are 5-4. At least the ACA was 6-3.

 

[delyrium]

So happy for this news. And for once, my Facebook feed is full of smiles and happiness.

"It is now clear that the challenged laws burden the liberty of same-sex couples, and it must be further acknowledged that they abridge central precepts of equality . . . 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 . . .

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. ... [The challengers] ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."
