Awesome news. I was disappointed in Roberts though. Thought he would do the right thing. The other three idiots voted as expected. ---

Let us pause for a moment to think of all the conservatives harmed by today’s SCOTUS rulings. It must be excruciating knowing that people you despise are happy and healthy. ---

> [@Hari\_Seldon](#): > > And if some county clerk still refuses to issue a marriage license? Do you need to get a lawyer? > > Still, great news. Well, now it would be the same as if the clerk refused to give a license to a straight couple, except you’d probably have a better case for damages. Chances are, though, all you’d need to do is send an email or make a call and it’d be fixed andthe clerk would probably be fired, if you prefered that route over litigation. ---

I have a friend in Columbus, OH, who is at the probate court right now with all her lawyer friends, “to watch the first few marriages.” So in Ohio, same-sex marriage can happen right away? ---

From one article: > [@](#): > > Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) support a constitutional amendment protecting states that want to ban marriage equality. Yeah, it’s always worked out well to use the Constitution to _restrict_ citizens’ rights. My only complaint on all this is that my gay grandson wallpapered Facebook with links to news articles about the decision. I get it, you’re happy, but one link would have sufficed. ---

If it’s anything like opposite-sex marriage a lot of same-sex folks are going to see a decline in their sex lives. A bottoming out, so to speak. (Don’t hate me, I think SSM is a good thing. I just can’t resist a good pun. Or a bad one.)
