Time to throw out the pills and rubbers?
Maybe ban interracial marriage while you at it so you can get rid of your dumbo wife.

I just can’t see the Supreme Court even as conservative as it is getting rid of Gay marriage.

I am sure companies have already started threatening to move themselves instead of women. Maybe Ohio should mention their inevitable ban on their stupid billboards asking people in cities to move there.

The only thing they can do is turn it back to the States as there is no Federal law on it either way.

Dear Democrats,

I know this has been a tough few months for you all. Let me explain this in terms you might be able to understand. Think of your situation as that of this being the first year of Travis Steele....only except that Sean Miller will never ever be available....

Oh wait, John Brannen might be a possibility....

Yes I’m sure this has happened as well. Definitely going to be interesting to see what kind of corporate clout they have on this, especially in fly over states. Obviously lots of things to be considered vs one issue.

Keep in mind that decision was decided 5-4 with John Roberts siding with the liberal justices. Now you've got an extra conservative justice; I can't imagine a scenario where Gorsuch, Kavanaugh or Barrett decide to keep this ruling in place.

It would really depend on the Constitutional basis for the original ruling and the issues that would result in a case ending up before the SCOTUS.

What about surging crime in our Big Cities? These are all DEEP BLUE cities, run by progressive Mayors and DAs, most with defund Police agendas. Not to mention the Dems control all 3 houses in DC and are doing ZERO to combat this at the Federal level AND their allies in the MSM refuse to cover the problem. Not to mention, which Party tried to sugarcoat the ANTIFA/BLM looting and violence? This shitshow is most certainly one sided.

How about our embarrassing Public School Systems in those very same cities? The heavily progressive Teachers Unions have to be one of the most corrosive institutions in the country. Where are the Conservative politicians adding to this massive problem?

What about "Wokeness" and pushing all these over the top social issues? Now you probably have no problem with this stuff but a vast majority does IMO. Regardless, it's the Dems and the far left wing of the Party, championing this stuff. Again, almost entirely one sided.

Probably the most serious situation is what Biden and the Dems have done to our Energy Sector through his DAY ONE Executive orders. There are no Green New Deal Republicans that I'm aware of. The havoc to the economy, brought on by this agenda is undeniable. Is there any argument that this is not a HUGE problem?

Blame for ANY issue? I don't see how both sides are to blame for the above, but I would really like to hear how you connect the dots.

Because once upon a time we had leaders who compromised and cared about the whole rather than the extremes which kept them in power. Cared about wins for people rather than their party. Both parties are more extreme than ever, liberal and conservative localities are drifting further from the majorities. The federal government is just a pendulum. If you look back at 2018 people the opposite of you would say the same thing you’re saying but about Trump and the GOP. Zoom out. The country is too stupid to see the elite is hitting them back and forth like a ping pong ball profiting with every swing. Views which are truly mutually exclusive are extremely rare and inconsequential to the masses but they’re all people care about.

A lot of what you say is 100% correct. But it's kind of weird that you never call out the Democrats on this board....

Will be interesting to see if Disney takes a similar stance and if DeSantos retaliates against them like he did when they objected to Florida’s so called “don’t say gay” bill.
