Markey rips GOP for support of Amy Coney Barrett: Originalism 'just a fancy word for discrimination'
"Originalism is racist. Originalism is sexist. Originalism is homophobic," Markey tweeted Monday. "Originalism is just a fancy word for discrimination."
"You can't spell shameful without sham," Markey said. "And that's what Senate Republicans have turned this Supreme Court nomination process into -- a sham."
From a friend of a friend on Facebook...
Many people don’t realize that it was still a felony to be gay in America less than 20 years ago. In 2003, a Supreme Court case struck down the remaining sodomy laws in 13 states after police in Texas raided the home of a gay man and dragged him and another man out in handcuffs. As horrific as that sounds, **three members of the court voted that they saw nothing wrong with putting people in prison because they’re gay.**
One of those justices is still on the court and swore in Amy Coney Barrett at her request.
The person she described as her mentor and extremely close to her ideologically is the other justice who argued vehemently that every gay person you know should remain felons.
If you don’t quite understand why your gay friends and family are terrified right now, that might give you a slight glimpse into our lives and what is going through our heads as she is sworn in.

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. - Lynn Lavner
The entire nation will mourn when the new SCOTUS gets its hands on cases already being prepared.
