    You know who I am grinning about today?

    Theodore Olson. Founder of the Federalist society, defender of anonymous sourcing, and winner of Bush v. Gore, he is currently arguing before the Supreme Court that banning same-sex marriage is so ridiculous it cannot be justified by any reasonable means. His position is that there is literally no legitimate argument for the ban in any context, at all.

    Go kick ass, Ted.

    how does that work

    scotus precedent is that legislatures can write active nonsense and still issue constitutional legislation

    When rights are concerned, they need some reasonable excuse. How good the excuse needs to be varies from right to right.

    doesn't that elevated scrutiny standard only apply for protected classes, in which case any outright ban would be unconstitutional anyway

    If there is no legitimate argument for a ban, it won't even pass the lesser standards.

    but the lesser standard is "write whatever"

    rational basis overtly does not require that the argument exhibit non-stupidity

    Oh, also, Ronya, that is not in any way an accurate summation of how American federal government works or SCOTUS precedent.

    Brown, Roe, and ACA cases being the pertinent example of why.

    It simply means that the government has a legitimate reason for a law or regulation that is rationally linked to it (in other words, the connection is not a non sequitur).

    If I invest $5 in a company's stock, and the value of the share doubles, from whom have I taken the other $5 when I sell it?

    if you place it in an offshore bank account where it pools with preposterous amounts of yours and other peoples wealth and enters a closed financial loop were it does nothing but make even more money for you and the bankers looking after it, then the answer to that is everyone

    you are harming everone who is not you or one of your bankers

    Ronya, you're wrong. The standard isn't "write whatever" it is "write whatever so long as it is constitutional" which is the entire point of SCOTUS review.

    You cannot simply "write whatever" law you wish to write. See Brown v BOEd. See Roe v Wade. See Florida v United States.

    believe me that I am quite willing to argue that your supreme court makes stuff up as it goes along

    but baldly arguing that there is no rational basis is quite hard to do

    You're just wrong, Ronya. This is an instance where you are incorrect. The lesser standard that laws have to pass is not "write whatever". As I said a post or two up.

    Every argument against gay marriage is a non-sequitor at this point.

    where's the parent quote from

    (the proximate answer is, btw, "the people who you lent the $5 to, i.e., the company's founders in an IPO, or the previous shareholder")
