    Scalia may have to retire if he gets tired of hearing and arguing about important issues.

    He's so tired of it apparently, that he apparently seemed almost happy that a protester actually got into the chambers yesterday.

    I have to wonder what the protesters mean by "traditional marriage." There was a time when interracial marriage was illegal. There was a time when a rape victim was forced to marry her rapist. There was also a time when girls were literally sold to their prospective husbands for a few pieces of silver and a goat.
    Seems like a pretty slippery slope if you want to backtrack on marriage's progress through the centuries.

    Traditional marriage is a marriage between a man and a woman in which the woman stays in the kitchen where she belongs. Of course.

    You forgot to source this exaggeration to the feminist website.

    You're actually calling the opposite of that view "feminist" as opposed to 21st century normal? LOL.

    *Looks at my traditional parents*

    Yeah, I'm totally blind in this case. Totally. I should tell my mom to sell her business and get back in the kitchen.

    Has this been brought up in the hearing? Especially the second one. The saying comes to mind "a traditional marriage is between one man and as many women as he could afford."

    I haven't paid attention to the individual arguments before the SCOTUS, but that's one of the arguments I often here in gay marriage debates. I'm sure someone has brought up the concept of "traditional marriage" at some point this week. Those arguers simply fail to see the problem with that line of thinking.

    One of the biggest arguments against same-sex marriage is the "erasure of gender from society."

    That statement cannot be interpreted any other way than the erasure of gender ROLES from society and/or marriage.

    I'll have to familiarize myself with 1950s politics.

    A read-through of the arguments against same-sex marriage should do that for you.

    Nowadays, the majority of western society, excluding religious debates, is open to it.

    Seriously those bigots and their disposal income. I still want to know what that pig Darren Wilson did with the thousands donated to his unneeded defense fund

    Seems like a pretty good get-rich-quick scheme. Pretend that you're being persecuted so that other hateful bigots will give you some money. I think I'm in the wrong line of work.

    ROTFLMAO.

    They are afraid. They are very, very afraid. They seem to think they can't win on arguments alone--and they are probably right--so they want to force two Justices not to vote.

    The laughable calls for high court recusals

    Hey O'Reilly, etc.: You are on the wrong side of history. Get over it.

    Funny, I wonder what they would say if someone tried to take away Scalia's vote due to his dogmatism
