Attacks in France, Tunisia and Kuwait Revive Concerns on Security
Friday June 26th, 2015 at 2:08 PM

Violence shaking three different countries on Friday touched off new fears of hard-to-stop terrorist attacks and brought fresh soul-searching in Europe over whether governments are doing all they can to fight violent extremism at home and abroad.

The shooting spree in a Tunisian resort area on the Mediterranean popular with European tourists and Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for a rare mosque blast in Kuwait highlighted...

Justices' pointed dissents to gay marriage ruling show unusual discord
Friday June 26th, 2015 at 2:07 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down bans on same-sex marriage in a historic 5-4 ruling. The justices ruled that states cannot deny gay men and lesbians the same marriage rights enjoyed for thousands of years by opposite-sex couples. VPC

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court's conservative dissenters do not merely disagree. In a remarkable show of discord, they each took turns Friday accusing their colleagues of overstepping their roles and ignoring the Constitution by striking down same-sex marriage bans.

Chief Justice Roberts struck that note almost right away, reading for 10 minutes from his dissenting opinion. Justice , sitting to his left, had just finished reading from the sweeping decision he wrote for the court's majority legalizing same-sex marriage throughout the United States.

Roberts looked into the audience and asked: "Just who do we think we are?"

His colleagues struck similar notes, saying the court should have left the issue to voters, and warning that judges should not be so quick to invalidate state laws.

"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."

"It is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today's decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. … This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."

Associate Justice Clarence Thomas (Photo: Pablo Martinez Monsivais, AP)

"The majority invokes our Constitution in the name of a 'liberty' that the Framers would not have recognized, to the detriment of the liberty they sought to protect. Along the way, it rejects the idea—captured in our Declaration of Independence—that human dignity is innate and suggests instead that it comes from the Government. This distortion of our Constitution not only ignores the text, it inverts the relationship between the individual and the state in our Republic. I cannot agree with it."

Justice

"Most Americans — understandably — will cheer or lament today's decision because of their views on the issue of same-sex marriage. But all Americans, whatever their thinking on that issue, should worry about what the majority's claim of power portends."
