Today the Supreme Court issued a momentous decision legalizing gay marriage nationwide. Here I collect my brief reflections on the matter in the form of embedded Tweets.
Wow: “Supreme Court: Same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states.” http://t.co/o3PCA7t49V

I confess I’m overwhelmed with emotion over this one. Gays have suffered enormously at the hands unjust governments and of bigots.

No state shall "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law… nor deny… equal protection of the laws."

Founders "entrusted to future generations a charter protecting the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning." —Kennedy

So today the left trumps individual rights and conservatives trump majority rule and the alleged "rights" of states.

I don't think the left has yet realized what a profound challenge Kennedy's gay marriage decision implies for much of the left's agenda.

Anthony Kennedy was appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan: what lovely cognitive dissonance for leftists and conservatives.

Love wins. Unless you want to take someone else's money for a government program. Then force wins.

Leftists and conservatives both think John Roberts gone one right and one wrong (ObamaCare and gay marriage). Really he got them both wrong.
