Upcoming Supreme Court Cases

The only winners in this issue are the Divorce Lawyers.

Next on the agenda will be making the term marriage into a full business contract. Or condensing it into a number of four year business dealing subject to renews and fees.

Why not.. if marriage has been redefined then don't be so old fashion right now and accept what will devolve from it.

The divorce lawyers will fight against it.. It removes them from the equation.

I've heard rumors that Charleston County SC is going to issue marriage liscences to same sex couples. Greenville County is steadfastly refusing to do so.

Kennedy has stayed the thing at least as it applies to one state...apparently cuz the court that governs that district used a higher level of scrutiny than the "rational basis" of all the other decisions.
[[for those unfamiliar with u.s. courts...the higher the level of scrutiny, the harder it is for the GOV't to defend. So in this case since the state had a ban, Kennedy is saying "maybe the court was too hard on the Gov't.]]
Some think this might create the conflict between different courts that the Supremes like to see in many cases before taking them up...though I think? it is already too late to make it this session??

Now Idaho and Nevada have had their bans struck down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. This brings the grand total to 32 States, nearly a 50% increase over where things stood only last week.

we on the right can only hope the gop has given up this fight. maybe they would be better served coming up with some jobs programs and an alternative to Obama care.

I think that might support your SSM statement up-thread

I suppose I should sticky this thread since Supreme Court cases can have significant impact. Not all their cases, mind you, because some of them are relatively minor in nature, but some anticipated decisions will have extreme significance.

Walker v Texas Div., Sons of Confederate Veterans is fairly interesting--the State of Texas may disallow Confederate flags on officially-accepted license plates. Your individual right to Free Speech means you may have as many Confederate flags on your vehicle as you like but the State does not have to display that flag. I agree. We shouldn't try to hide or forget about the Confederate flag--the Civil War happened and it needs to be studied in its entirety as a matter of historical fact--but that doesn't mean it has to have official recognition.

Indeed. And I saw in my newsfeed today that [url=thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/245695-supreme-court-sides-with-raisin-farmers-in-just-compensation-case] Horne v. the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Raisin case, has been settled.[/url] The state cannot take raisins without compensation. They limited it to just raisins, but it will call into question many such "keeping prices stable" grabs that are done by policy. I certainly agree with their outcome. I have figs in my back yard, and I don't sell them. But if I did, I can't imagine being told that I can only sell 15, and the rest go to the government to export or give away in school lunches. Granted, under their program I would get $2 a fig ($30), but at 15 cents a fig, I have 250 of them so I'd make $37.50 which is more money (and it's not like I'm going to just grow 15 figs on a tree). This one was a good call.
