Commentators have missed the real significance of Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in the gay marriage case. He calls the decision a judicial “Putsch,” an attempt to overthrow a form of government—ours. His dissent, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, was written “to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy.” 

His comment about the Court using the kind of reasoning we find in a fortune cookie is a funny line. But there is much of the Scalia dissent that is not funny and which serves as a warning to the American people about what the Court has done to us. 

Scalia understands the power and meaning of words and he chose the word “putsch” for a specific purpose. One definition of the term means “a secretly plotted and suddenly executed attempt to overthrow a government…” Another definition is “a plotted revolt or attempt to overthrow a government, especially one that depends upon suddenness and speed.”

Hence, Scalia is saying this was not only a blatant power grab and the creation of a “right” that does not exist, but a decision that depends on public ignorance about what is really taking place. It is our system of checks and balances and self-rule that has been undermined, he says.

  1. I am an Episcopalian and your an Episcopalian and I am fervently against this.
    The Episcopal church will probably loose a following of sorts. Betrayal.

  2. Would like to hear the story when you are up to it.
    The Supreme Court is the new Politburo and does not represent the population
    as it was in the Soviet Russia where it was disproportionately staffed and did
    not also represent the wider demographics of Russia and now the U.S.A.
    Roberts and Kennedy - what the Hell are they. Turncoats.

  3. Interesting pic of Putin crying. Looks good to me unlike ODumbo who appears
    to be picking a wart off his face.
