NgoLwesihlanu, ngo-June 26, iNkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States yaqopha umlando ngokukhipha isinqumo sokuthi zonke izakhamuzi zaseMelika ezweni lonke zinelungelo lokushada. Isinqumo sika-5-4 siwukunqoba okukhulu kwemibhangqwana yobulili obufanayo yonke indawo, osekunesikhathi eside ilindele isimemezelo sokuthi uthando lwabo lungaba semthethweni ngaphezu nje kwalokho. I-37 ithi. Manje, izifunda kumele zigunyaze futhi zibone yonke imishado yezitabane ngokomthetho.

“Awukho umshado ojule njengomshado, ngoba uhlanganisa izimiso eziphakeme kakhulu zothando, ukwethembeka, ukuzinikela, ukuzidela, nomndeni,” kubhala uJustice Anthony Kennedy embonweni weningi lenkantolo. “Ekwakheni isibopho somshado, abantu ababili baba into enkulu kunangaphambili. Njengoba abanye babaceli kulezi zimo bebonisa, umshado uhlanganisa uthando olungase lukhuthazelele ngisho nokufa. Kungaqondana nala madoda nabesifazane uma bethi abawuhloniphi umqondo womshado. Isicelo sabo siwukuthi balihloniphe, balihloniphe ngokujulile kangangokuthi bafune ukuzitholela ukugcwaliseka kwalo. Ithemba labo alikona ukulahlwa ukuphila isizungu, ngaphandle kwesinye sezikhungo ezindala kakhulu zempucuko. Bacela isithunzi esilinganayo emehlweni omthetho. UMthethosisekelo uyabanikeza lelo lungelo.”
