Levin: The Supreme Court ‘Doesn’t Deserve Your Respect Ever Again’


JUNE 30, 2015 8:44 AM 
(CNS News) – Nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin called the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges ruling legalizing gay marriage “utterly lawless” and a “bastardization” of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
“The idea that the 14th Amendment — a Civil War amendment — somehow reaches the personal policy agenda of Anthony Kennedy is an absurdity. It’s a bastardization,” Levin said on his Friday broadcast.
“A lawless Supreme Court — utterly lawless, it’s absolutely nuts — doesn’t deserve your respect ever again, even if it issues an opinion that you like.”
Here is the transcript of what Levin said:
“This decision belongs in the states. There’s no federal constitutional authority for this. Don’t hand me the 14th Amendment. Anybody who has a cursory, passing understanding of the 14th Amendment and its history know this is bold.
“The truth is that if those who support gay marriage wanted it enshrined in the Constitution, the only way to do it is through a federal constitutional amendment or Article V.
“The idea that the 14th Amendment — a Civil War amendment — somehow reaches the personal policy agenda of Anthony Kennedy is an absurdity. It’s a bastardization.
“They sit there day in and day out with their clerks, cloistered, thinking about how they’re gonna write clever decisions. And they’re not clever decisions. Bastardizing the Constitution isn’t that hard. It’s done every day.
“But a lawless Supreme Court — utterly lawless, it’s absolutely nuts — doesn’t deserve your respect ever again, even if it issues an opinion you like.
“It doesn’t mean you have to disrespect all the judges. I respect three of them — three of them — because they try hard to follow their oath. But the other six just don’t give a damn, in this politburo. And I’ve addressed this many times…
“And you’ll notice, the one real recourse that exists — the one that bypasses the very federal Leviathan that’s designed this Rube Goldberg nonsense — is touted by me, and me alone. Well, [Sean] Hannity supports it, there are a few others, but nobody ever talks about it.
“Today, it’s ‘What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?’ The Constitution tells us what to do. Do we not live in an oppressive government with the federal government?
“Let me tell you what Kennedy and the four goose-steppers on the left have unleashed: endless battles between people of faith and secularists, endless battles where the federal government has to make decisions, and will make decisions for the secularists.
“The federal government did this. The federal government did Dred Scott, the federal government did Roe v. Wade, the federal government’s now gonna make these decisions about religion.
“Oh, they claimed they’re concerned about privacy, stay out of the bedroom. They never stay out of the bedroom. They don’t stay out of our medicine cabinet. They won’t get out of our lives, and now they’re in our churches, and synagogues, and yes, mosques.
“It is outrageous that five American citizens who happened to go to Ivy League law schools, who do happen to win the lottery, who are nominated to go on the Supreme Court, who are confirmed to go on the Supreme Court, are smarter and wiser than the entirety of the nation.
“How did that happen? It didn’t happen. They’re not. They’re not. And I can prove it by reading their opinions. They’re sophomoric. They’re pathetic. They’re elementary.”
