South Carolina argues to Supreme Court that it can discriminate against gays AND women


http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/10/1376728/-South-Carolina-argues-to-Supreme-Court-that-it-can-discriminate-against-gays-AND-women?detail=email

Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy
South Carolina wants to be able to continue to ban gays and lesbians from marrying each other. They want to do that so much that they filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court that they should continue to be able to do so. In it, they make an "originalist" argument that if the Constitution is read just as its drafters understood it, gays can be discriminated against because women can be discriminated against. Mark Joseph Stern at Slate has all the crazy.
Anybody else worried about how seriously some of these guys are going to take this argument?

is admitting you are a bigoted state with a topping of racial hate shouldn't the scotus repeal their voter right decision that it's not needed?  should the scotus whose job it is ti interpret the law admit they and nobody else today knows what was on the mind of those founding guys except it's okay to claim ownership of another human being.  

this is now 87,211 days since 07/04/1776, days or 12,458 weeks 5  or 2,093,064 hours, 125,583,840 minutes and 7,535,030,400 seconds and counting since declaration of independence and still we can't come together those who benefited by this are still the only ones really benefiting today.  will we ever be the greatest country in the world and if so republicans will ruin it with mass armies and weapons of war trying to be the worlds police that can't clean it's own house.

we will never be great until racism and bigotry are gone and the declarations and bill or rights come to fruition and everybody stops second guessing centuries dead old White guys it ain't that kinda party anymore.  recognize
