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."

The sickest thing about them using this rhetoric is that British and American imperialism killed off thousands of leftist Muslims and directly funded the rise of Wahabbism, in general, and the House of Saud, in particular. The CIA wanted to "guide the evolution of Islam". There was a book written in the 1880s, Memoirs of Mr. Hempher, The British Spy to the Middle East or Confessions of a British Spy purporting to be the account of a 1700s British agent, Hempher, of his instrumental role in founding the conservative Islamic reform movement of Wahhabism, as part of a conspiracy to corrupt Islam. Wikipedia dismisses this as "anglophobia" and yet looking at what the CIA and British intelligence did in the 20th century, is it really inconceivable that anglo imperialists have been funding reactionary strains of Islam for 300 years now?

Purest victim-blaming, the wall is too good for the dork who coined that term.
