    They wrote that, “even if substantive due process is not itself overturned, Obergefell should be, because the right to same-sex marriage is neither carefully described nor deeply rooted in the nation’s history.”

    Where is marriage “carefully described?” As far as “deeply rooted in the nation’s history,” would that include the lifelong bachelor, president James Buchanan? How about Thomas Jefferson and his slave he was not married to, but took around publicly as his mistress? How about Ben Franklin fucking every woman, married or unmarried, that was willing?

      “Deeply Rooted”? This country isn’t even 4 Joe Bidens old, our deep roots are slavery & smallpox blankets.

      E: credit to Mark Agee for the 4 Bidens thing, I knew I’d heard it somewhere…
