“Nevertheless, they said, the case “provides a stark reminder” of the consequences of the same-sex marriage decision.

Somehow gays getting married is just so monumental in the lives of religious bigots that it must be overturned in their draconian view of the world. They love to ignore the Equal Protection Clause and somehow assign a ‘super above all others right’ to the free practice of religion that they think abrogates the equal treatment under the law guaranteed by the Constitution. This only heightens the importance of who the next President will be and the justices he will nominate to sit on the Court.
