LITTLE RED EQUAL SIGNS


Perhaps you have noticed the red equal signs hitting social media. That is because people are standing united behind a decision the Supreme Court should make regarding the allowing of marriage between same sex couples. I’m not going to change my profile picture. It’s not that I don’t support people born of the same sexual traits enjoying a life together in whatever ceremony they choose, I have and forever will be a supporter of human rights: the only rights that matter. In a way, it is that which this post is about. I just know pictures aren't going to change anything.

This is a post about the United States of America’s Supreme Court Justices (the last line of defense between citizens and tyranny) planned ruling on the modern today’s issues of Gay Marriage.

I am going to make a prediction: they aren’t going to rule on anything.

I have this feeling because I know the state of affairs in this country.

To the great success of our ruling class they have turned the commoners stupid. They played their cards and plebeians lost as they always do. You see, in our self-righteousness, arrogance, and ignorance we argue and banter back and fourth. When reading used to only belong to the wealthy, and then suddenly everyone could read, the wealthy created media and now no one wants to.

People who preach about the first amendment rights don’t like the rights the second amendment grants. The people who like the second amendment rights don’t like the first amendment rights. Tragically no one knows what the 9th amendment is, because that is what is at stake.

Without continuing to read, do you know what the 9th amendment states?



The 9th Amendment of the Constitution:

The enumeration (list) in the Constitution, of certain rights (all amendments of the Constitution), shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Don’t worry, even scholars are baffled at what this means. It is truthfully not very clear but this amendment is what the Supreme Court should consider. 

At it’s core this amendment was designed to protect any and all rights NOT listed in the Constitution.

This is what should be done, but I fear that our Supreme Court is full of cowards who do not understand the weight they carry. The reality is that Prop 8 never should have happened. The government does not have the power to limit it’s citizens in their humanistic freedom and it has the obligation to recognize those people and their freedoms.

Our politicians are silver spoon fed aristocrats who have no idea what it is to suffer the pain of the peasants they rule over. Never seeing the darkness and hatred that certain groups of people experience just because of who they are.

There is a much bigger issue at stake here. An issue that can be placed into a single concept.

You have to ask yourself a question, and it is a deep and profound question. Regardless of everything, should there be any government force allowed to tell you who you can and cannot marry?
