Go back one page.
You said it specifically allows incest marriage.
Reagan was the last Republican President that wasn't completely in the pocket of the religious right. He didn't take them seriously, he knew when to pretend to be on their side to get their support but I'm pretty sure he thought they were idiots.
I gave you the page numbers from your link, as well as the start of each quote. Not looking at them is you admitting defeat. Any response to this post that does not specifically address what I linked you will be admission of defeat. I dare you to admit defeat to me again.
From comments gleaned from his survivors and his biographer, he was privately tolerant if not very PC. There was a gay couple who stayed at the white house and he was friends with rock hudson. He was also, while preparing to run for his 1st term, very outspokenly opposed to anita bryant's crusade against gay teachers. From this angle, it's ridiculous that repubs today will trip over each other trying to declare undying allegiance to reagan.
In terms of governing, he's frequently accused of doing nothing during the AIDS crisis, but i find this to be a little more complicated. Spending requires congressional approval, and while if the victims had been mostly children (ex: polio), the government would've spent untold billions finding a cure, spending did go up substantially between 1984-1990 and reagan did force his surgeon general to make it a priority.
If someone in an interview pointed this all out to ted cruz or huckabee, i'm sure they'd deny it endlessly
Thank you for admitting defeat again.
funny. they get the law passed with the motto "it won't effect you so shut up bigot". then, as it becomes more obvious now and in the future how it WILL effect MANY things, the new motto will be something different and the original motto will be quickly forgotten.
suckers......I mean us.
Why do you keep admitting defeat?

Stop lying, you admitted defeat.
Good to see you agree you have no argument.
Kennedy's ruling does not exclude incest marriage.
Now, post the part of the majority ruling that specifies incest is now allowed and I will admit defeat.
Why can't you just post the part of the ruling you're referring to?
No idea what the princess guy is talking about.
I did, turbo. Thanks fore admitting defeat again.
I posted the specific pages and the start of sentences.
And all rights can be limited.
Is it a problem for you or anyone else to come up with defensible reasons to prohibit incestuous marriages? I wouldn't think so....
No, it doesn't. I'm willing to bet the US would not see it that way either.
An Amendment to the Constitution, by its very nature cannot be unconstitutional so long as it is enacted in the proper manner. There is nothing in the ruling that includes it either.
I posted the exact pages and start of sentences, from the link turbo posted.
Yes, it is a problem now. It wasn't before.

He lived in Hollywood since the 30s and was president of the Screen Actor's Guild. Of course he didn't have any problem whatsoever with behind the scenes homosexuality. And by the time he "outspokenly opposed" Bryant it was all the political rage to do so. This is Clayfoot Reagan you're talking about.
