Elenis:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOn the last day of Pride Month, an extremist and unelected SCOTUS uses a made-up case to hand out a \u201cconstitutional&#8221; right to discriminate against LGBTQ people. What an embarrassment for our country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis Court has sunk to a new low. Its majority doesn\u2019t act like a court \u2013 it acts like politicians advancing their partisan views, not independent judges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday&#8217;s ruling is despicable. It is a full-on assault on LGBTQ people in America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEveryone in America deserves equal protection under the law, and I will not stop fighting until that is achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false}}
