now, this doesn't satisfy the dissenters, justice alito in particular, worry they will be villified. i don't think it's so much because of justice kennedy's reason. justice thomas correctly points out that the government doesn't confer dignity. i think the government does not do a very good job of confering villification. there's a third i think i think he went with fundamental rights. equal protection clause analysis might have brought sexual orientation out of the closet as a quasi or suspect classification. either explicitly or by implication. and kennedy i think wants to keep the court's options open to respect religious and traditional marriage libertarian rights to exclude or to discriminate. remember justice kennedy was the fifth vote in lobby lobby and years ago in the boy scouts case and justice kennedy i think is loathe to close options. this is an implicit deal if justice kennedy is going to deliver the fifth vote then you sort of go with the bride who brought you. there are some disadvantages highlighted by the near histterkle dissenting opinions in this case. so for exam
