Rush: Scalia’s dissent of DOMA ruling is ‘breathtaking’

Rush discussed Scalia's 'breathtaking' dissent in the DOMA ruling.
"In his view, what's happened here, the Supreme Court has now demonized proponents, supporters of traditional marriage as it's been understood for thousands of years, the Supreme Court majority in its ruling actually uses language that insults and demonizes the people who support as its been since the beginning of time. Now if you ever had any doubt that the Left is intolerant and fully invested in the low art of personal destruction through smear tactics, just read Scalia's dissent..."


Rush says we're up against people who don't give a damn about the rule of law or about basic decency or about decorum...
"...what animates people on the Left, what motivates them, what informs them, is defeating us, no matter how, no matter what, no matter what it means...their hatred for us overwhelms everything else. And no matter the results, victory that includes impugning and demeaning and insulting us is what they seek, is what makes them happy."
Here's a little bit of Scalia's dissent:
"The majority concludes that the only motive for the Defense of Marriage Act was the 'bare desire to harm a politically unpopular group'..."
Think about that. The majority on the Court believes that DOMA was only conceived because supporters wanted to harm gay people. Rush says, "Just that allegation has nothing to do with the law!" And both he and Scalia would be correct. Then the majority proceeded from there to declare the Act, created by a Democratic-led Congress and signed by a Democrat President mind you, unconstitutional.

This ruling epitomizes the essence of an activist judiciary. And you can guarantee this administration relishes its accomplishment as much or more than FDR did while wielding power and influence over his.

ADDENDUM: Here's more from Rush...
"What the Supreme Court majority said today essentially was 'we're gonna find that DOMA was bad because we don't like the people who are for it. We don't care about the law, we don't care what happened legislatively, we just don't like the people, because we think the people who support DOMA hate gays, and the don't like gay marriage, and they make fun of gay people, and they stigmatize gay people, and we want to stick it to'em! So here's your DOMA, and put it where the sun don't shine!' That's the essence of the Supreme Court's decision today. Nothing to do with whether it was constitutional. Nothing to do with whether it was legislatively correct, whether or not the people's elected representatives have the right to make and enforce law in this country... Five Justices basically said, 'We know you people hate gays, so we're gonna ram this right back down your throat. Here, how does it taste? They, the majority in this decision, used character assassination as a means of deciding this case, not the law."
Now WE, conservatives, Christians, traditionalists, constitutionalists, have been stigmatized as bigots, haters, elitists, whatever else they want to call us...so tolerant, huh?
