amongst all the naziism in the u.s., a tiny glimmer of hope for everyone as the supreme court overturns anti-sodomy laws in the whole federation.



predictably, the ultra-right-wing nutters on the supreme court (william rehnquist, antonin scalia & clarence thomas) dissented, but the sensible ones won. the complete nutter scalia said that the supreme court 'has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda. it has taken sides in the culture wars'.


it astounds me that extreme right-wing nut-cases like scalia have the audacity to make statements like that. he is 'taking sides' in a 'war' of his own mental invention and dares to attack people who dissent from his views of a totally imaginary dispute.



the other justices took a long hard look at the human rights issues involved with anti-sodomy laws and decided that peoples' human rights are violated by them, so they changed them. this is not 'taking sides', it is doing the job properly and impartially - two concepts that rehnquist, scalia & thomas would do well to read-up on, since they patently don't understand them at all.



all we need now is for the supremes majority to overturn their previous ruling which gave bush his illegal presidency and the whole world will start to become a sensible place once again.

other mad bastards conservatives have claimed that the ruling will 'undermine society and lead to same-sex marriages'.



undermine society? how?



lead to same-sex marriages? why? and what would be so wrong with them anyway?
