Rising Hegemon
I'm sure the Justice and his wife discuss this all the time.
After all they live in Virginia, and but for a Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia which stated that anti-miscegenation laws were unconstitutional, they could not do so. The Loving case (decided in 1967) ended all race-based marriage laws in the United States.
At trial, the Lovings were sentenced to a year in prison (suspended for 25 years if they left the state) and the trial judge said something that George Bush could slightly modity and then say about gay marriage (well it's Bush so maybe not too easily):
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
The Lovings, of course, were lucky at the time to only get a year in jail instead of being lynched, making the question "How we Survived" rather moot.
Many better blogs have talked about asking Bush (or Dick, Lynne or Mary Cheney) what he thinks of the "Loving" case...and I for one agree, I would like Bush to be asked what he thinks of "Loving". And I laugh in anticipation of what the Commander Codpiece would say.
But I'd like to hear what Clarence Thomas "really" thinks. I'm guessing he's a first class hypocrite.
