GOP Will Undermine Gay Marriage Just Like They Have Reproductive Rights.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The law will change NOTHING in the GOP mind. They will continue to discriminate and persecute gays no matter what SCOTUS says. They will never comply and neither will the churches. The Kentucky clerk's resistance is just the beginning of the kind resistance you can expect in the far reaching future.

This nation is a Christian nation in their eyes and they will never give up their push to overthrow secular government an civil law. They are as intransigent as ISIS or any other radical ideology. And they will use insurgent means to get their way.

We are in a never ending war with the religious right because the Bible and "their god" is supreme to everything. So count on a battle "ad infinitum". Christians of the radical kind never give up because they are drunk with their own dogma and ideology.

The GOP supports this group 100% because they see it as a route to full power in the end. So you can count on one thing with the GOP in full power. Everything will be reversed and they will do all they can to gut the Constitution. The fact that the GOP has control of so many state legislatures should be a matter of concern.

This clerk will never give up and now is the "mascot" of the religious rights resistance to what the perceive is an illegitimate government and activist SCOTUS. Unfortunately there is an element in the group that believes in 2nd Amendment solutions.

1. Why does the mass media never talk about the underlying resistance to these things...

extremist Christians that want to destroy the secular state the nation was founded on - they say so every day by word and deed, for fuck's sake - and the rot that treacherous ideology now melded into the fibre of one of the two parties allowed to exist by a rigged political system - is having on the nation.....that religious zealotry given credibility should have gone the way of the Dodo bird about the same time.

Is that asking for too much! Too much to examine the obvious?

2. The Repugs Only Support SCOTUS When The Ruling Is In Their Favor.....

if it goes against them - it's a whole different story. Hypocrites!!!!!

3. sadly, you are quite correct.

4. Which is why people who support the marriage equality and women's rights must vote in every election

We can not show up every 4 years and say, "My work is done."

Yes, the President appoints Justices to the Supreme Court and other courts, but we need Congress that will join the fight.

Republicans now control the legislative agenda. They can pass almost anything they want. (Fortunately, there are enough Democrats in the Senate to keep them from passing a veto proof ill to cancel the agreement with Iran.)

Not one of these signature achievements are finished. As recently as 2009, a Louisiana Justice of the Peace refused to marry a mixed couple. Loving Vs. Virginia was decided in 1968.

5. In The End You Will Have To Force Them To Comply. Even Jailing If Necessary.

6. I disagree

Like interracial marriage, they'll get over it. The base will whine for a while, sure, but I think the politicians know they're on the wrong side of history and have lost this fight entirely with the next generation. It may take another election cycle or two but the days of marriage equality being a political issue are few.

The comparison to abortion doesn't work in my opinion. Pro life folks are, in their minds at least, fighting to prevent the killing of babies. That's a moral high ground that's hard to come down from if you believe it. It's a thousand times easier to get over Adam and Steve getting married, which literally hurts no one, than allowing the perceived murder of children.
