I would say I am proud of my home state but it is getting dragged into the future against its will. Whatever it takes.

(3,962 posts)next US Attorney General refuses to defend ACA in a new case and the challenger then wins by default because nobody with standing enters a defense of the law (or appeal of an adverse District Court).
William769
(55,147 posts)but there's a difference. I won't try to explain it to you because it will fall on deaf ears.
So I will just say WE WIN! GET OVER IT.

(3,962 posts)over that. But since you did use up an apology, I'll just apply it differently and accept if instead for your ignorance over my feelings.
I do wish my adopted state had adopted this via the elected branches because those decisions tend to be less contentious over the long run.
William769
(55,147 posts)The ban would never end. I believe my apology was used correctly the first time.

(26,219 posts)Would really be nice to have this decided federally. Lots of taxpayers ponying up lots of cash to prop up these inane arguments from the wrong side of history.
William769
(55,147 posts)Given that the 6th circuit has gone against the grain and has upheld marriages bans in their respective States, SCOTUS may now intervene.

(13,616 posts)sad thing is Jeb and Rick will be the first to make money when all these people move here to get married. All of Dixie LGBT and Half of Latin America will move here just for that reason, because they know Miami ios a pocket of culture that does not care what Dixie thinks.

(32,080 posts)Thomas is a self described libertarian. Libertarians do not want government interference in personal lives.
William769
(55,147 posts)He is one of the two that wanted the stay to stay in effect.
Scalia was the other asshole that wanted the stay to stay in effect.

(3,962 posts)has written guidance for emergency stay criteria. [http://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/reportersguide.pdf]
And they follow it - not their personal preference.

(33,688 posts)The SCOTUS ain't gonna touch this issue with a ten-foot law clerk. It's far easier to let the Courts of Appeal act. Roberts wants no part of this. It's not anything that advances or retards the march of corporatism, which is the issue nearest and dearest to his heart, and it's gonna happen anyway, so why get the SCOTUS involved. And no one on the court save for the Terrible Three wants to come face to face with that thermonuclear opinion that Posner wrote for the Seventh Circuit. That opinion was a gigantic "fuck you in the ear" from Posner to Fat Tony and Uncle Ruckus.
Guarantee the vote to grant cert/injunction was 6-3. Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kennedy, Kagan and Sotomayor voting "no" and Soapy Sam, Fat Tony and Uncle Ruckus voting "yea."
