The Supreme Court on Friday announced its 5-4 ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states, and predictably, conservatives went ballistic.
Love wins: The Supreme Court has effectively legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states
Scalia and Roberts slam liberal majority in same-sex marriage ruling: ‘Just who do we think we are?’
Some on the ultra-conservative blog Free Republic resorted to simply quoting Bible verses they thought reflected current events, while another wrote, "Ugh Sodomites Celebrate." Fox News host Todd Starnes suggested all Confederate flag-waving, anti-LGBT Christians are now in danger.
Mike Huckabee, GOP presidential candidate and Evangelical sounded like he was about to secede, calling the decision "judicial tyranny."
"The Supreme Court has spoken with a very divided voice on something only the Supreme Being can do - redefine marriage," he wrote in a Facebook post. "I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch."
And then there was this guy:
Today's ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges strikes down state bans on same-sex marriage. The 5-4 majority was made up of justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen G. Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Anthony Kennedy.
