Chief Justice Clarence Thomas Rebukes Supreme Court, Said They Should Have Heard Gay "Marriage" CasesThomas says he doesn't understand why the Court did not hear appeals from states wanting to preserve their ban on same-sex marriages and, according to Reason News, "castigated his fellow justices for lacking a coherent judicial approach… threw down the gauntlet, and publicly challenged the Court to take up a gay marriage case."
Earlier this year, the Supreme Court declined to hear marriage appeals from Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In his statement, which was in reaction to the Court's decision to not hear an Arizona immigration amendment, Clarence—who famously goes years between asking questions from the bench—said that the Court should have heard the marriage cases. "We have recognized a strong presumption in favor of granting writs of certiorari to review decisions of lower courts holding federal statutes unconstitutional," wrote Thomas. "States deserve no less consideration." "But for reasons that escape me, we have not done so with any consistency, especially in recent months," said Thomas, who also said that he also believed the Arizona case should have been heard. "At the very least, we owe the people of Arizona the respect of our review before we let stand a decision facially invalidating a state constitution," described Thomas. "I hope my prediction about whether that petition will be granted proves wrong. Our recent practice, however, gives me little reason to be optimistic." Read more from LifeSiteNews, click here.
