(51,796 posts)and of course the equal protection guarantee of the 14th Amendement. You haven't given me a link, but I am pretty sure she was referring to the fact that there is no explicit Constitutional provision that mentions "samesex marriage." And, she was trying to get through a Senate confirmation process where Repukes were whispering about her "love of softball" and unmarried status. I have no doubt that Elena Kagan supports same-sex marriage. And I have no doubt given the chance she would overturn Citizens United, which is what is funding the election of people who are on the opposite side of the paramount issue that affects your life--she was one of two votes to hear the Montana law that reinstituted the campaign finance rules that Citizens United abrogated.
I did not tell you my rights did not matter as much as yours. I just disagree with your strategy. You are telling people there's no difference between Repuke and Dem SCOTUS appointees and that is hugely inaccurate. Further, that is the kind of talk that suppresses voter turnout, which helps the Repukes (and hurts me and you).
We're not going to get where we need to be by attacking each other.
