Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is (currently) really enthused about the U.S. Constitution, which she argues, contrary to Chief Justice Roberts, had "everything to do" with the Supreme Court's declaration that same-sex marriage is a "fundamental right."
In an op-ed published in Time Tuesday, Warren rebuked Justice Roberts' statement that the majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges "had nothing to do with" the Constitution. Saying the Constitution clearly "disapproves of state-sanctioned discrimination," Warren sang the praises of the document the left consistently finds to be such an impediment to their agenda:
Our Constitution fiercely guards freedom and liberty, and strongly disapproves of state-sanctioned discrimination. The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Obergefell v. Hodges recognizing a fundamental right to equal marriage for LGBT Americans sits squarely within both text and tradition. Indeed, what is truly remarkable about this case is not the outcome, but rather the people who made it possible — all of the many individuals across our nation who came forward to fight for the liberty and equality that our Constitution guarantees for all of us.
The inclusion of a Bill of Rights, with its protections for religious liberty, freedom of speech, and due process, was an essential condition of ratifying the Constitution and bringing the colonies together into one United States of America. Ratification of the Reconstruction Amendments, including the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection, was a necessary component of rebuilding our union after the Civil War. Without these rights and liberties, there would be no Constitution — and no nation.
In his dissent, Justice Roberts said that while those who support gay marriage should certainly celebrate the decision, none should be celebrating the Constitution, which had "nothing to do with it":
If you are among the many Americans—of whatever sexual orientation—who favor expanding same-sex marriage, by all means celebrate today’s decision. Celebrate the achievement of a desired goal. Celebrate the opportunity for a new expression of commitment to a partner. Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it.
