RUSH: Justice Roberts, “If you are among the many Americans — of whatever sexual orientation — who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today\u2019s decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.”<\/p>\n

Yes, it did. That\u2019s exactly what this day is about. The Constitution has been made to be everything about this. It has been corrupted.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The president, three years ago, opposed gay marriage. Did you know that? Three years ago the president opposed it and ran for office opposing it. So did Hillary Clinton. It wasn\u2019t until bundlers in Hollywood who were gay threatened Obama with the loss of millions of dollars of donations that he changed his mind. And how did he change his mind? They sent Joe Biden out there apparently to make a slip of the tongue. In case you have forgotten how that happened.<\/p>\n

None of this stuff is genuine.<\/line><\/p>\n

None of it\u2019s real.<\/p>\n

Three-and-a-half years ago, and every year prior to that, Barack Obama opposed gay marriage. And you know why? Because of his Christian religious beliefs. And he was open about it, and he ran for office, and so did Hillary Clinton, and so did Bill Clinton. And then the Hollywood Gay Mafia threatened him with the loss of campaign dollars. What happened next is Joe Biden is out apparently making a speech on 7-Eleven or something and let it slip that the — apparently made it slip.<\/p>\n

This was even more disingenuous. Biden\u2019s trucking along, making some speech, nonsensical as usual, and out of nowhere happens to blurt out, “Oh, by the way, if you happen to be gay, we support your rights to get married.” Everybody said, “What? What? What just happened here?” And the news media made it look like Obama was now caught. Biden had gone out and inadvertently put his foot in his mouth. You remember this?<\/p>\n

So Biden went out and put his foot in his mouth and the Regime was caught. “Oh my God,” and they started debating, “Maybe Obama was going to change his mind on this and Biden knew it, and forced their hand.” It was planned, structured, phony; created as a way for Obama to make the transition away from opposition to gay marriage to support for it by sending his vice president out there to entrap him into it — and it was all about campaign donations.<\/line><\/p>\n

Now, Obama\u2019s out there saying that the ruling today makes every American more free. It doesn\u2019t. You see, that\u2019s the point here, folks: It doesn\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t make America more free, and it doesn\u2019t make America more equal. That\u2019s a convoluted, loaded objective anyway to make… When the Democrats talk about making everyone “equal,” it\u2019s not something that you really want to be a part of.<\/p>\n

We already have equality in our Constitution. It\u2019s already there. It\u2019s in the Declaration. It\u2019s already there in the way we are treated before the law. All the rest of this stuff is just the advancement of a leftist agenda disguised in terms designed to fool young people into thinking they\u2019re supporting something that is earth-shattering and wonderful and legendary and so forth. They end up unwittingly brought along in plans and procedures that are designed to corrupt.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more from Justice Roberts.<\/p>\n

I want to get some of these dissent — some of these excerpts from the dissent — and then move on. I have a reason for doing this, so stick with me. Again, Justice Roberts: “Understand well what this dissent is about: It is not about whether, in my judgment, the institution of marriage should be changed to include same-sex couples. It is instead about whether, in our democratic republic, that decision should rest with the people acting through their elected representatives, or with five lawyers who happen to hold commissions authorizing them to resolve legal disputes according to law<\/p>\n

“Supporters of same-sex marriage have achieved considerable success persuading their fellow citizens — through the democratic process — to adopt their view. That ends today. Stealing this issue from the people will for many cast a cloud over same-sex marriage, making a dramatic social change that much more difficult to accept.” That\u2019s right. But this is from the guy who co-opted the legislative process yesterday in his majority opinion on Obamacare.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is abortion redone, folks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same thing.<\/p>\n

This is not going to solve any problems whatsoever. It\u2019s just going to exacerbate, and George Takei has promised that they\u2019re just getting warmed up. They\u2019re just getting started. The next target is religious freedom — Christian religious freedom. I doubt they\u2019re going to be going into any mosques demanding to be married. Keep a sharp eye on the Catholic Church, because that\u2019s going to be the real target, and Pope Francis. Just keep a sharp eye.<\/p>\n

Justice Scalia. Justice Scalia says “today\u2019s majority ruling represents a ‘judicial Putsch.\u2019 Scalia wrote that while he has no personal opinions on whether the law should allow same-sex marriage, he feels very strongly that it is not the place of the Supreme Court to decide. … Scalia stated he wanted to write a separate dissent ‘to call attention to this Court\u2019s threat to American democracy.'” They\u2019re laughing at Scalia today all over Washington. They\u2019re laughing at Scalia all over CNN and all over the Drive-By Media.<\/line><\/p>\n

“What a reactionary! What a loose cannon! Oh, the guy is just hilarious. Man, he thinks it\u2019s the end of everything. Where would we be without Scalia to entertain us?” they say. Scalia wrote, “‘Until the courts put a stop to it, public debate over same-sex marriage displayed American democracy at its best. But the Court ends this debate, in an opinion lacking even a thin veneer of law.\u2019 … Scalia attacked his colleagues\u2019 opinion with his signature flourish. ‘The opinion is couched in a style that is as pretentious as its content is egotistic,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n

“According to Scalia, the five justices in the majority are using the 14th Amendment in a way that was never intended by its writers. … ‘They [the majority] have discovered in the Fourteenth Amendment a “fundamental right” overlooked by every person alive at the time of ratification, and almost everyone else in the time since.'” By the way, that\u2019s right. I read what Justice Kennedy wrote about the 14th Amendment, and I was… (laughing)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all filled with (paraphrased), “The original authors of the 14th Amendment could not have ever imagined what the concept of freedom would have become generation after generation after generation. But they wisely wrote the 14th Amendment so it could be expanded.” It\u2019s gobbledygook after gobbledygook, justification after justification, because they know what they did. Justice Kennedy in his majority opinion uses the word “dignity” nine times. Dignity? “What, Mr. Limbaugh, are you opposed to dignity?”<\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not opposed to dignity! Don\u2019t be silly. We\u2019re talking about the law here, not feelings. Scalia pokes fun at the “language the majority used. … [T]he majority wrote ‘The nature of marriage is…'” Listen to this. This is Scalia castigating the majority, Kennedy. “[T]he majority wrote, ‘The nature of marriage is that, through its enduring bond, two persons together can find other freedoms, such as expression, intimacy, and spirituality.” That is actually in the majority opinion.<\/p>\n

“The nature of marriage is … two persons together can find other freedoms, such as expression, intimacy, and spirituality.” Scalia says, “Really? Who ever thought that intimacy and spirituality (whatever that means) were freedoms? And if intimacy is, one would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie.” The media is all over him for the reference to the hippie, that he\u2019s dating himself. There aren\u2019t any hippies anymore.<\/p>\n

So what we are to learn here is that Scalia\u2019s stuck in hatred for the \u201960s. But his point is, if Kennedy is going to write that marriage will promote “Freedom of Intimacy,” Scalia says, I would think that marriage kind of abridges that because there\u2019s supposed to be this thing called monogamy in marriage. That\u2019s sort of… “What the nearest hippie knows about intimacy, Scalia did not elaborate on.” That\u2019s… These excerpts are put together by the National Journal.<\/p>\n

Now, do you remember how Justice Scalia was made fun of for what he said about the way of the Defense of Marriage Act opinion was written? Do you remember his prediction then? Scalia predicted that lower courts would use the Defense of Marriage Act or the obliterating\/lack of defending of it to strike down state laws restricting the right to marriage, which they have done. Secondly, Scalia said the Supreme Court would be eventually forced to support same-sex marriage after having said they would leave it to the states, because the Defense of Marriage Act ruling turned same-sex marriage into a civil right.<\/p>\n

And that too has happened. And, by the way, that has been part of the leftist or Democrat strategy to gather the support of Millennials. Once you turn all of this into a civil right and a human right and a concept involving equality… Well, you know the idealism every young person has, and you had it when you were that age. They have just swept them up in there and they\u2019ve turned them into a full-fledged army for this particular cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
