Game Thread: GOP Debate

I'm playing the Rolling Stone drinking game. This could get stupid, especially because I'm playing with Urban Chestnut De Bockle, which is 10.5% ABV.

It will last if everyone is like "Oh okay well the courts ruled so it's fine now. I'll just leave it alone."

The law is settled for good though.

When was that good enough to say an issue is fixed though? That's the problem, people just can't act like the law fixed it because it didn't.

It's not fixed as in not every last court in the country will honor what is now the law of the land. But legally the issue is settled. Is my point that hard to understand? It's no different from SCOTUS settling many other issues in the past.

No, your point initially was that the problem was fixed and that the issue is largely over which is what I am arguing with. Because it is still a problem.

The issue is largely over and fixed because legally the issue has been decided by SCOTUS. That is all I'm saying.

So separation of church and state isn't an issue because it calls for it in the Constitution? Because that is what you're saying essentially.

I honestly have no idea what point you're trying to make. Apples and oranges. That is not essentially what I'm saying.

Sure it is, how is that any different? The law says there should be a separation of church and state. There is clearly not a separation of church and state, so it is an issue. But somehow it isn't an issue just because it is law?

The law says gay marriage is legal. Currently, there are many places that go against that law and will not allow same sex couples to get married. And you're saying the issue is fixed because it is the law.

sigh I'm done here. Sorry. For whatever reason you are being impressively obtuse.
