Shorter MD Sup. Ct.: “We admit that reading the text ‘literally’ would require a plaintiff’s victory, but with a little judicial creativity, we can do anything we want to do! Fortunately, the TMV comment threads are full of people who hate when judges rule based on what they want the law to be, rather than what it says, so when the Court admits that a “literal” reading of the relevant law and text would point to a gay rights outcome, but votes against it anyway, I look forward to their full-throated condemnation.
Also, gays are now so politically powerful that it entirely outweighs the admitted “purposeful discrimination” and “disabilities” law and society has previously and continually placed upon them. Who knew?
