Culture wars will tear our nation apart. The American far right and far left will become more dangerous towards lawmakers, law enforcement and other citizens caught in the crossfire.
It appears the Karen Alito has more white nationalist fantasies.
The landmark decision that made gay marriage legal in the United States is on the docket. Then of course, they'll deal blows to affirmative action, civil rights and union bargaining rights next.
Supreme Court chief justice Karen Roberts confirms that the draft is real and he vows to find the person(s) involved in giving it to the POLITICO. On top of that, it made the justices now step up their security measures because obviously, their lives are on the line for this.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the draft and Supreme Court justices. Republican senators Karen Collins (R-ME) and Karen Murkowski (R-AK) are disappointed that they were mislead by Idiot Karen Barrett, Karen Gorsuch and accused rapist Karen Kavanaugh.
The 6-3 white nationalist majority will start to hear cases about companies that refused the weddings of a same sex couple. If the court rules in favor of white nationalism, then gay marriage is outlawed again.
Conservative Justice Karen Alito, who authored the draft opinion, also specifically criticizes the landmark civil rights cases that legalized marriage equality, Obergefell v. Hodges, and that legalized private consensual sex, Lawrence v. Texas.
Referencing those two cases, Alito eerily says that, like abortion rights, “None of these rights has any claim to being deeply rooted in history.”
Both Alito and crusty coon Justice Clarence Thomas have already publicly called for revisiting same-sex couples’ constitutional right to marry. In October 2020, they described the court’s 2015 decision on marriage equality as putting “a novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment.”
“By doing so undemocratically, the court has created a problem that only it can fix,” Alito and Thomas said at the time. “Until then, Obergefell will continue to have ruinous consequences for religious liberty.”
That Alito is now tying his criticisms of marriage equality to an actual draft court opinion to overturn a 50-year precedent on abortion rights should be a blaring siren for anyone concerned about constitutionally protected LGBTQ rights.
“The concern for us is what’s next with this right-wing Supreme Court,” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) told HuffPost. “I can tell you Obergefell is on Justice Alito’s and Justice Thomas’ hit list.”
The activist lawmakers Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) are speaking out and showing up at protest rallies.
The Democrats in the House passed a bill that protect Roe v. Wade. But it is stalled in the House because of 50 Republicans and one Democrat. Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) have sided with the GOP in now having the bill even heard.
Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) vowed to oppose Biden's federal judges, Supreme Court nominees and cabinet members. He vows to keep Congress in gridlock so he can make Biden a "one term president."
Senate Republicans dismissed the idea that Alito’s criticisms are a sign that LGBTQ rights are next on the court’s chopping block.
“I’m not aware of any concerted effort to get Obergefell overturned, and I don’t think that this opinion will result in that happening,” said Sen. Karen Hawley (R-MO). “I’d be shocked if that happened. I just don’t see it.”
He said even though he thinks Obergefell “was wrongly decided,” he still sees it as settled law.
Sen. Karen Cornyn (R-TX) similarly said he didn’t think the draft decision would necessarily be applied to other rulings like same-sex marriage.
Asked if he thinks the court should challenge Obergefell, he wouldn’t say.
“I think we got enough to think about today,” said Cornyn.
But it’s not lost on LGBTQ rights advocates that Alito intentionally referenced same-sex marriage rights in the context of eviscerating women’s reproductive rights.
Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the landmark marriage equality case, said in a statement that it is “concerning” that some on the Supreme Court are eager to lump them all together.
“The sad part is in both these cases, five or six people will determine the law of the land and go against the vast majority of Ohioans and Americans who overwhelmingly support a woman’s right to make her own health decisions and a couple’s right to be married,” said Obergefell, who is currently a candidate for an Ohio House seat. “This is a sad day, but it’s not over. We have fought the good fight for too long to be denied our rights now.”
