I fear it will be a slippery slope. Clarence Thomas has already stated in his decision that he intends to overturn same-sex marriage. They are not done. It's infuriating that this group of nine wields such power, relatively unchecked.

There was a time (and not so long ago) that people could discuss politics and religion and anything else with a sense of respect for the other person's opinion. We could usually agree to disagree and carry on. Those days seem to be gone and it's just extremes. And a feeling of "if you're not for me, you're against me." There are several friends/family members that I just know not to discuss certain things with. It's discouraging.
