Not only is this grievance not justiciable, but it’s also an attack on free speech. You do not have a constitutional right to be free of harsh opinions or criticism. Obergefell created no sanction for disagreeing with it.

On the one hand you have people who are definitely legally forbidden from marrying who they love. On the other you have people who are afraid they might get criticized or shamed for what they say. Surely the first harm is outweighed by the risk of the second.

“Adherence to traditional beliefs” is doing so much heavy lifting in that statement but it doesnt reflect well on the argument people also had traditional beliefs that conflicted with abolition, women’s rights, desegregation, and interracial marriage

Society isn't doing what the Supreme Court told it to. Therefore, there must be something wrong with society.

People who do not hide their traditional bigoted beliefs are being labeled as bigots. Imagine that.

Disqualification from jury service is a sanction, but it's an appropriate one when a potential juror has an identifiable bias against one of the parties, whether that bias is religious in origin or not.

Just making sure I understand. “You do not have a constitutional right to be free of harsh opinions or criticism” means being the object of them, right? In other words, my rights are not violated by someone harshly criticizing me, right? How did some of these folks ever become justices?

Yeah, Alito certainly captures the prevailing right-wing obsession with being poor innocent victims of mean lefties.

That was my reaction. There’s not a constitutional right not to be called a bigot.
