In his dissent from the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which declared that same-sex marriage was a right, Justice Antonin Scalia declared that this Supreme Court has become a “threat to American democracy.
“I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy,” Scalia said.
“This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.”
Here is an excerpt of a key passage from Scalia’s decion:
I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.
The substance of today’s decree is not of immense personal importance to me. The law can recognize as marriage whatever sexual attachments and living arrangements it wishes, and can accord them favorable civil consequences, from tax treatment to rights of inheritance.
Those civil consequences—and the public approval that conferring the name of marriage evidences—can perhaps have adverse social effects, but no more adverse than the effects of many other controversial laws. So it is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact—and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create “liberties” that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.

threat to American democracy.???? American democracy. wtf is that , isnt this a republic and how is it you made it to be a sc judge .
Thanks! I thought American whaaaaa…..?!?! Did ANY of them ever read the Constitution? Probably not.
American Democracy IS Communism in it’s ” foot in the door ” form. Joseph McCarthy was in fact correct . . .
Exactly what I was going to say Jack! It’s pretty bad when a supreme court jerkoff doesn’t know we’re supposed to be a Republic! But then, maybe he knows something we don’t, like we AREN’T a Republic.
Well, good then, I’ve always wanted to re-establish our Republic anyway. It’s a win-win!
He’s right in his assertion that the unelected SCOTUS is a threat to the American Nationals freedom to govern themselves. But ‘American democracy’? You mean two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner? Stop it you commie bastard. This is a republic. Go back and re-read our founding documents that you are all so fond of wiping your hind ends with.

An excerpt from “Mein Kampf”…
“But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.”
DUH!!!
And yet the masses do not listen or learn… from the past or present…
Oh, they listen alright.
Problem is, they listen to the ‘programming’ coming out of their idiot boxes, instead of the truth.
Right, I went on Yahoo and tried to point out that while everyone was focusing on the gay thing Obama was shoving through the TPP. I had people reply that I should FOCUS Sharon, FOCUS, the topic is gay marriage not free trade. AAARRRRRGGGGGG!
Can’t fix stupid.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Well there’s nothing stopping Scalia from sneaking a gun into the judges chambers and blasting us back to freedom.
Maybe that’ll be the next hoax? The revolution will be televised. ..AND scripted! Wouldn’t shock me at this point :-/
Scalia, you uneducated douche..it was never a democracy,
only a republic, and you ‘sir’ are a threat to said republic.
Hemp or paracord, scalia,…take your pick.

We all know that Sotomayer and Kagen are gay. But did you know Roberts is also gay? Heard an interview last night where the person being interviewed says he goes to bars in Washington and asks the bartender about Roberts. All the bartenders know he’s gay and that he and his wife have adopted their two daughters. Media is keeping this under the raps. Are these three gays on our Supreme Court being blackmailed??? Or at least Roberts???
. . .
Barack Obama and his wife are homosexuals. Michelle is a he. His biological birth name is Michael Lavaughn Robinson before the dude married obama. So their kids are also adopted since it’s impossible for two men to make a baby biologically.
““I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy,” Scalia said.”
We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, YOU STUPID DUMBASS!!! GO back to school!
HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING NC. ITS ALL PROPOGANDY
EXACTLY! BUT INCLUDING SCALIA, HIMSELF! Glad he finally admitted it.
