Ah-hem. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States brought their country into the Century of the Fruitbat, declaring that those states that have refused to honor legal marriages performed elsewhere based on the partners having the same professed gender identity do not have grounds to continue doing so, and so also require new marriages of the same to be acknowledged wherever someone wishes to get married.
The opinion of the Court in Obergfell v. Hodges, and the two dissents that go with it.
For everyone who has been waiting for this eventful decision, congratulations. We hope that for the next fight over human rights, the privileged are faster to extend their hands and welcome everyone else into the circle, and that courts will continue to move toward justice for effective. How wonderful it is that we have this - and here is my fervent hope, that we will now work to make sure that everyone is able to be a full person in society, without discrimination and with assistance where needed.
There will still be people who get to turn someone else's religious bigotry into an awesome yard display, of course.
Also helping the President, The subsidized exchanges key to the success of the Affordable Care Act are upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States.
Read the official opinion of the Court, and the dissent authored by Scalia in King v. Burwell.
So there are now two signature achievements of the current Democratic administration - anyone who wants to take advantage of them could run as a proper liberal.
We could use a proper liberal, for once. But for now, celebrations!
