Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
I do not applaud the SCOTUS decision overturning Roe and Casey for its moral implications. I applaud it because Roe and Casey were bad law. As is Obergefell. All three of these decisions were legislation drafted from the bench. This is EXACTLY what the Constitution (Separation of Powers) intends to prevent.
Because the Constitution is silent on these issues does not drop them at the feet of SCOTUS to legislate. This is the duty of the states. This is the duty of the Congress. When Obergefell comes back to the Court, it should also be overturned. The Federal Government should be out of the marriage business and let each state decide. It's not a constitutional issue and legislation originating from the Court is, by definition, bad law.
SCOTUS got it right today. States, do your thing as you see fit! People, go live in the state that fits your needs, or vote in the representatives to change the state in which you live. Let us not abdicate our duty as citizens to let 9 people in black robes write our laws.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
