Description

In breaking news, there are not 4 votes on the US Supreme Court to overturn the Constitutional right for people to marry who they choose and same sex marriage, as the Supreme Court refuses to hear on appeal the case of Kim Davis, the clerk who wouldn’t issue marriage licenses to same sex couples on religious grounds. Michael Popok explains how Davis, the stalking horse of the MAGA right-wing religious zealots who sought to have the Court follow Justice Thomas’ call to have same sex marriage as a constitutional right protected from State attack, overturned, and how even MAGA justices like Amy Coney Barrett and Alito think that’s going too far.

If Supreme Court justice Thomas wants to go after same-sex marriage, he is asking for courts to go after interracial marriage; which is what he is living! Mind your own damn business Justice Thomas!

Clarence Thomas is a selfish clown. He wants to tell everybody what to do, but he doesn’t want any ethics check, or balance on himself. Too bad.

What really gets me about Kim Davis is that she took a job knowing she could not DO IT. To me THAT is on her. Arrogance, pure and simple. 🐱

Now there will be Christian Nationalists who will say that the Supreme Court is attacking Christianity, when in fact it is the "Christians" who are doing the attacking.
