I encourage everyone to read Scalia's dissent. Hilarious stuff.
Yes, as I said before it's absolutely brilliant, even if you don't agree with it.
But that's that, I guess. Given a choice, I'd far rather have a ban on divorce than a ban on same-sex marriage, anyway. Cheers to the gays.
Yey! Physically and sexually abused women will be forever stuck with their abusive husbands! Loveless family units will continue! Children will just love it!
Note I didn't actually say I wanted to ban divorce- merely that I'd prefer it to banning same-sex marriage if I had to choose. It's not even banning divorce as such as it is no-fault divorce.
But broken families, deserted children, endemic poverty, adversarialism, wives treated like disposable objects, cheapened marriages, and so forth... are hardly desirable outcomes either. Divorce presents a far graver threat to "the integrity of marriage" than same-sex marriage ever have and ever will- that's my point.
