Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history."

      Did you know that Sparta's military tactics began to fail when Athenian siege engines were used to tear straight through the middle of their densely packed formations? Fascinating, isn't it?

          History is full of totally based shit that gets glossed over in the kid friendly versions they tell us in the US of A. Like how after Hellen Keller learned how to communicate, she became a worker's rights activist who read Marx in Braille and condemned a textile factory, not because she could see the human rights abuses, but because she could smell them.
