This is difficult. You contrast Roberts in his dissenting opinion today to his majority opinion yesterday and you scratch your head, and you think, &#8220;This is incoherence.&#8221; You can\u2019t understand it. It does not make common sense or intellectual sense, because everything Roberts wrote today criticizing gay marriage ruling is what he did yesterday in authorizing Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p>He did yesterday everything he criticizes today. &#8220;Roberts\u2019s argument centered around the need to preserve states\u2019 rights over what he viewed as following the turn of public opinion. In ruling in favor of gay marriage, he said, &#8216;Five lawyers have closed the debate and enacted their own vision of marriage as a matter of constitutional law.'&#8221; He\u2019s right. Just as happened with Roe v. Wade. Five lawyers have now defined marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and, by the way, for those of you who think that you will still have access to the freedom of religion clause in the First Amendment? You won\u2019t for long. Grab audio sound bite 23. George Takei who played, what was it, Mr. Sulu on Star Trek? Star Trek, exactly right. Star Trek. Mr. Sulu. Anyway, he\u2019s a gay activist, George Takei on CNN. The bespectacled Ashleigh Banfield said, &#8220;There\u2019s so much left to be said regarding the actual process&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See? It\u2019s never a win. It\u2019s never over.<\/p>\n<p>There is never happiness on the left. It\u2019s fleeting and temporary, and it is the case with gay marriage, because Ms. Banfield said, &#8220;While the Supreme Court has had its say, there\u2019s still a lot of messy work that needs to be done in at least 20 of those states that still recognize those bans.&#8221; There is? I thought this meant that we were all aligned, we were all together, and there was love just breaking out all over the country. I thought all that was at stake here was some people who were denied marriage because of their sexual orientation, just wanted to be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>They just wanted to be included.<\/p>\n<p>They want their dignity to be recognized.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s about much more than that, as you and I well know. It\u2019s not about being accepted. It\u2019s about forcing. It\u2019s about redefining. The use of force is involved here &#8212; intimidation, bullying, what have you &#8212; and George Takei signals there\u2019s more to come. The rest of her question is this: &#8220;Those states, George, they still need to be challenged. So is the work of gay activist over or do you still see this as a challenge to the finish line?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TAKEI: Indeed we see it as a challenge. It\u2019s going to be a &#8212; a new challenge. But we are very mindful of that challenge that still remains. They are now &#8212; some of these, um, states, are &#8212; going to try to use the, uh, shroud of religious freedom. I believe in religious freedom, and people who argue that are entitled to their freedom. But they do not have the freedom to impose their religious values on to others. I\u2019ve heard some of the people, uh, expressing their comments on the, uh, Supreme Court ruling, and they\u2019re entitled to that. But they are not entitled to impose their will on everybody.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_107733\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cake-b.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: You see, this is what\u2019s wrong with this. Nobody in the&#8230; I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this. Nobody in the heterosexual world is forcing anything on anybody. They\u2019re minding their own business and having something forced on them, is what\u2019s happening here. So Mr. Takei says: Hey, you\u2019re free to have your religious beliefs. Have them all you like. I have mine, too. But you can\u2019t impose your religious values on to others.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>(But Mr. Takei and his group can impose their beliefs on you all day every day or you will lose your business.) You honoring your religion&#8230; You own a bake store, to give an example. A gay couple walks in; wants a cake. You say, &#8220;Sorry, my religion forbids supporting gay marriage.&#8221; That\u2019s the end of your business. That couple\u2019s going to walk out, go somewhere, come back with an army of lawyers, and you\u2019re finished.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of just going someplace that will bake them a cake, they\u2019re going to focus on the place that wouldn\u2019t because of religious freedom. This is not about joining. It\u2019s not about being accepted. It\u2019s about overthrowing. And Mr. Takei has just admitted so. (summarized) &#8220;Hey, you\u2019re free to have your religious beliefs all day long. I believe in religious beliefs,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I support them. But that doesn\u2019t mean you can impose them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How is somebody who owns a business, minding their own business, a gay couple comes in and wants a cake or a picture taken or what have you: &#8220;Sorry, can\u2019t.&#8221; How is that marriage, that gay marriage, being imposed upon? A baker refusing to bake a cake is not stopping the wedding. A baker refusing to bake the cake is not preventing the couple from being in love and they\u2019re not preventing them from going out and finding another cake. They\u2019re not preventing them from anything.<\/p>\n<p>This group just doesn\u2019t want to bake the cake. There are plenty of other places that will. But they don\u2019t go there. They stay focused on the place that won\u2019t and they get put out of business or try to. Now, who is imposing on who? Mr. Takei says we\u2019re not stopping. Religious liberty is next. There isn\u2019t going to be any. Because, folks, religious liberty is the target here, or religion is the target, ultimately that\u2019s what this is really all about. That\u2019s why I say this is far more about politics than policy.<\/p>\n<p>The problems that we have go way beyond the day-to-day practice of politics. But even having said that, there hasn\u2019t been any kind of a pushback, strategy on any of this. I mean, the people who have owned bakeries and photo shops and whatever other businesses, they have lives too and they have livelihoods too and they supposedly have political beliefs and they have candidates and they have nobody defending them.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is pushing back for them. Other than the lawyers they hire, there isn\u2019t a strategy to deal with them. We\u2019ve got plenty of conservatives everywhere, but no opposition to anything, certainly no pushback. We\u2019ve got Republicans everywhere but the people who donate to them, other than the Chamber of Commerce, don\u2019t get any support. It\u2019s kind of breathtaking to behold, actually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Let me go to some of the dissents in the gay marriage case. Chief Justice Roberts.
