Expect liberals to attack justices as racist, anti-gay bigots if rulings don't go their way | The Daily Caller

The justices of the Supreme Court have been toiling behind closed doors for months on major decisions set to be released by the end of the term this coming Thursday. But while most of the hard legal work is already completed, one major challenge for the justices is still ahead: listening to the 10-second-sound-bite versions of their carefully crafted arguments and enduring the often spiteful ad hominem attacks by those who disagree with them.
This annual event will be no less contentious this year, as four significant and controversial cases are still outstanding. Experts reading the tea leaves predict the Court will strike down both the University of Texas’s racial preference program and a significant provision in the Voting Rights Act, and also may hold that the Constitution allows states to define marriage as between a man and a woman.

After all, the argument will run, who but a racist would want to eliminate any aspect of a voting rights law?
