Mike Huckabee is a chode:
“I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch,” Mr. Huckabee said. “We must resist and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat.”

That's the kind of thing that really makes look askance at people who claim the mantle of the founders and seem to believe that love of country is exclusive to those who agree with them.
So you don't agree with the decision? Fine. It's a process, and that process is an integral part of the fabric of our society, our country . . . you know, the one you're always gassing on about how much you love. Change some minds and win some elections, you big baby.
Besides, "judicial tyranny" is a phrase that, for generations, has just screamed "I'm a crusty old bigot."

I just hope at least one major news source gives this it's due coverage. (Sarcasm)
Just think - in one 24 hour span
ACA was put in the books for good! Kicking down the doors to meaningful universal healthcare
Marriage took on it's rightful meaning
and
Bristol Palin former paid abstinence spokesperson announced she is again an unwed pregnant.
Next, the Braves?
The same people that fought tooth and nail to deny marriage to responsible adults propped this child up as an example of wholeness
With a "W"
well, one of the top of my head that made one of the justices marriages legal is a case that the federal gov't ruled on marriage
it was in 1967 and was Loving vs Virginia
oddly enough, the case that allowed Thomas to marry the woman he loved ruled in the dissent in this case

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
oddly enough, it's first steps that helped make this happen were republicans so scared of losing elections, they put this on a ballot in swing states and their conservative base states to bring out their base to vote that denied rights to other people and by putting it into state law etc, it could then be challenged in court and we are here today on this historic day where loved ones can now marry each other.
the same people that hate that this happened can only blame themselves for allowing this to get here. to quote V for Vendetta:
truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror
