I wanted to add this as the rage fueled hyperbole machine is in high gear. There are claims that same sex marriage is next on the chopping black, of course assuming the final draft of this decision matches the leak. Allow me to say this. While I don't disagree with the Roe decision I always considered the connection between it and the 14th amendment to be tenuous. At the very least, certainly not the firmest foundation ever. Same sex marriage is not the same in that regard, at all. Same sex marriage is firmly and easily grounded in the equal protection under the law guaranteed by the Constitution. It's in zero danger. Of course, people will use this doomsday scenario to stoke further outrage and mobilization, but this one is just not grounded in any kind of logical fact.
