(06-27-2015, 09:20 PM)Justice Thomas\s dissent Wrote: Since well before 1787, liberty has been understood as freedom from government action, not entitlement to government benefits
Right from the beginning Justice Thomas's dissent makes you wonder if he was paying any attention.
I mean, did this whole thing not get put up in front of the SCOTUS because the government (The states in question) took an action (banned the recognition of homosexual marriages)?
And he can ramble on about the definitions of dignity and liberty all he wants. I for one am glad that our highest court does not consider liberty to only pertain to movement.
