Clarence Thomas Calls To 'Reconsider' Gay Marriage, Sodomy Rulings

The other justices declined to join him, but the future of the Supreme Court rulings on those matters remains unclear.

SCOTT SHACKFORD
6.24.2022

In today's Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade (1973), Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority opinion. But he also wrote a separate concurrence arguing that the logic behind today's ruling should also apply to previous Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage, sodomy, and the right to access contraceptives.

Today's majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruled that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and that the Constitution does not guarantee a right to an abortion. In the opinion, Justice Samuel Alito determined that the right to an abortion is not "rooted in the Nation's history and tradition."

Alito's decision, however, very clearly explains that he's not trying to claim that any right that isn't "rooted in the Nation's history" is potentially subject to being tossed out. This language was in the leaked draft opinion as well. He holds that part of what makes abortion different is that it involves the "destruction of a 'potential life.'" The decision states outright:

Quote
And to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized, we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.

He specifically name-checks Obergefell v. Hodges (the 2014 ruling that mandated gay marriage recognition) and Griswold v. Connecticut (the 1965 ruling that stopped states from criminalizing contraception) as precedents he is not attempting to challenge with the Dobbs decision. He later reiterates that those decisions "are inherently different from the right to abortion because the latter (as we have stressed) uniquely involves what Roe and Casey termed 'potential life.'"

But Thomas wrote separately to say the court should reconsider those cases too. While abortion may be a unique issue involving human life, Thomas sees these other precedents as errors of the court because he fundamentally disagrees that the concept of "substantive due process"—that "due process" protects not just procedures but fundamental rights—has a constitutional foundation. Thomas has a history of arguing that the Due Process Clause does not actually guarantee rights but that proper procedures are followed.

20 years ago, I was of the opinion that what homosexuals did in the privacy of their own homes and beds was their own business.

Now, we are being deluged and force fed this faggotry 24/7.  The activism has gotten way to far, even to the point of trying to steer children toward queerdom. That is past an outrage.   If these f'ers would be low key and live their lives in peace instead drowning us in their rainbow shit, I'd think Thomas' opinion would be out of line

Instead, their extreme activism as back fired.  And I strongly believe that I am not the only one of this opinion.

Don't know how one could feel any other way.   :beer:

They always seem to over-extend.  Part of their strategy.

Starting with the Afghanistan withdrawal, equipment abandoned, you cannot name a single POSITIVE thing this 'Regime' has accomplished.

In fact, if you wanted to destroy everything and bring chaos...tell me one fk'n thing he isn't doing right!   And the GOP sit there rotating on their thumbs.

The Obamas need to be SWATTED like they did to Jeffrey Clark yesterday.

The loudest and most obnoxious militant homosexuals, and their complict woke mouthpieces. (MSM, Hollywood, etc.)

I as a Pa Pa, should not have to explain two men kissing on TV to my grandchildren.

Ok.  Then I completely agree with you.  I read your post as implying the activism was mine (obviously a misreading), and just wanted to double-check before I responded.

So, yes, I agree completely.  If they hadn’t let themselves be controlled by the pedos, groomers, and public display fetishists, they’d be in a better position.

Sorry for the confusion.  I'll amend my original post.

You are not the only one. Gratuitous faggotry and a show ends, I don't care if it has ten seasons left. That was the last episode I watch of it.It got so bad on Netscape i was almost running a pool as to how many episodes of a show would be completed before the writers nuked it. The average was about three.

How come there are warnings for violence, nudity, even smoking, but not homosexuality?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah! I tried to watch "The Wire" recommended by @sneakypete but the gay sex ran me off pretty quickly. Lots of others as well.

Thomas has his head up his ass if he is opposed to the legality and availability of contraceptives.

No he is not. Such decisions DO NOT belong to the limited federal government, but to the States respectively and to the People. And if you don't like what a state enacts, then move to a state more to your liking.

That is how it is supposed to work. That IS Federalism.

Nope. Could be I just ignored them because I tend to ignore things that irritate me.

It also provides me with a break so I can get my coffee cup refilled,visit the toilet,feed the cats,etc,etc,etc.

So,you too believe that it is the business of the various states to determine who can and who can not practice birth control?

Personally, I believe that contraception and marriage are absolutely no business of ANY government. Those are personal choices, and government should butt out. Abortion is and always was a different matter because it involves existing human life, the protection of which is a legitimate concern of our local and state governments, but not the Federal government, as the Constitution makes clear by its design.   
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
