Amy Coney Barrett could help the Supreme Court kill marriage equality

Two conservative justices proved this week that they're prepared to chip away at the landmark ruling.

On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to take up the case of Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk who refused to issue marriage certificates to same-sex couples even after Obergefell v. Hodges made it legal in 2015.

Two justices — Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas — used that denial to write a statement explaining just how much they’d like to see Obergefell overturned, even if the Davis case wasn't the one to make that happen.

Given her past public comments, if Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett joins the court, she's very likely to agree, joining Thomas in using “religious liberty” to dismantle LGBTQ rights bit by bit.

Davis claimed her religious beliefs rendered her unable to issue same-sex marriage certificates and that she was therefore immune from a lawsuit by same-sex couples. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit rejected that, leaving Davis to hope the Supreme Court would hear her case.

Alito and Thomas should have been Impeached years ago.................and has for this "other right wing ideologue" she should have never been placed on the bench........

I just saw that she did not disclose that she had meetings with anti-abortions groups when being interviewed ......... she is going to come out during a hearing and say its already settled law.................bullshit, another federalist society hypocrite

1. If they can make millions of people unhappy and miserable, they will do it! That's what

they are all about in life hatred and bad feelings, many GOP types thrive on it - it's a feel-good to them.

2. My faith:

You are divorced so you can't get a marriage license
You are a mixed race couple so you can't get a marriage license
You are not a Christian so you can't get a marriage license
You are not of my particular denomination so you can't get a marriage license
You are not a virgin so you can't get a marriage license

We can go on and on.

3. The bullshit will be endless. The US brags to the world how free and equal it is, but there are tons

of bullshit surrounding those claims. Sure, not the worst, but not the best either.
