re: #59 Political Atheist

I’m not disagreeing with the fact the judiciary can sometimes go wrong, or complaining about 8 going down. I was addressing what Lidane said, that we would still have those laws, and I think the courts would have ruled them out.

Do you disagree with that?

You’re saying that gambling with people’s civil rights is okay, because the current judiciary seems to be going that way, it’s not okay. Neither Christie nor Martinez nor any of the other assholes calling for referendums on gay marriage would even think of making the same calls regarding interracial marriage, even if Loving v. Virginia had never happened. We never saw a referendum on the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960’s, and there’s a very good reason for that.
