    The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the high court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.

    That hateful cunt just won’t go away…

    Her lawyers repeatedly invoked the words of Justice Clarence Thomas, who alone among the nine justices has called for erasing the same-sex marriage ruling.

    And never forget Joe Biden is the reason Clarence Thomas is even on the bench.

    When Joe talked about how “we all used to get along” he means when Republicans pretended to like him so he’d be their useful idiot.

      Biden is such a turd, his time in the senate always marked by making “deals” with Repugs to just give away the whole game. Even worse in the executive, removing the public option from ACA before they even started negotiating. And of course working to give us Trump instead of Bernie, twice.

    John Roberts: We look so illegitimate and hateful, especially after allowing the denial of food stamps. What do we do?

    Clarence Thomas: Double down! Fuck the gays!

    Amy Comey Barrett: We can’t do anything. It might upset Daddy Trump.

    John Roberts: OK newbie. What do you think?

    Ketanji Brown: Ummm… Tell Kim Davis to eat shit?

    John Roberts: Perfect! We will look creditable again!!!

    Ketanji Brown: 🙄

    Brett Kavanaugh : BBBBEEEEEEEERRRR!!!

    Although I am not married myself, I have many friends who are. For our government to tell them that their marriages are meaningless, would have been the last motherfucking straw.

        This bears repeating:

        These issues are not mutually exclusive, and it is legitimately okay for one marginalized group to be concerned more for things that directly affect them. That does not in any way negate the urgency or importance of any other issues.

        We need to stop treating everything going on as a binary (black and white) problem. That’s what they want us to do, and why we’re being bombarded with so many bad things all at once. They are purposely dividing us, and so far it’s working.

      I care about gay marriage too but I’m more concerned about people being deprived of basic needs like food and heat

          They were saying the gay marriage thing would’ve been the last straw for them. So they haven’t yet reached their last straw with people starving

        This shit pisses me off. It’s ok to have different priorities. Whining about what you should be more mad about on the internet is not fucking productive.

    Wait, they’re not overturning same sex marriage? How is it possible the supreme clownshow is doing anything good?
