Yeah, I don't disagree with Thomas' position/assertion that people are responsible for their own dignity.
But, the position/assertion that people can't be denied certain dignities by others is unfortunately proven false by reality, over and over, every day.
I thought that Justice Roberts' dissenting opinion was also strange and filled with off-base comparisons.

Well, Mr. Roberts, I'll tell you who I know we're not; we're not Bushmen, we don't reside in China, and we're not living under Carthaginian or Aztec rule.

Quote:JUSTICE ROBERTS WROTE:...the Court invalidates the marriage laws of more than half the States and orders the transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia, for the Kalahari Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the Carthaginians and the Aztecs. Just who do we think we are?
