The U.S. Supreme Court has officially struck down bans on gay marriage nationwide.  SCOTUS ruled in a 5-4 decision that states can not ban same-sex marriage because it is unconstitutional. In the 5-4 ruling, the SCOTUS ruled that the 14th amendment requires states to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples and to recognize such marriages nationwide.

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion, saying, “[T]he reasons marriage is fundamental under the Constitution apply with equal force to same-sex couples.”

"This court is not a legislature," he wrote. "Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us. Under the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be." 

“[Mexico] are sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems to us. They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and their rapists,” the business mogul said.

"At Univision, we see firsthand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country," said the New York-based Univision Communications Inc.

“[Mexico] are sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems to us. They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and their rapists,” the business mogul said.

Fher Olvera, front-leader in Mexican Rock Band Mana said "It makes me sad because Mexicans have come to help build this country and it is sad that someone with so much hatred in his heart has a microphone to say these things,” he said about the statements made by Trump, after he announced his presidential nomination for the Republican Party on Tuesday.

"Unfortunately, the public discourse is sometimes hotter and more negative than it should be," Clinton said. She suggested such invective could "trigger people who are less than stable to do something like" the Charleston shooting. 

Confederate flag flying over South Carolina state house

On Wednesday night, nine people died as a result of domestic terrorism in South Carolina. Dylan Roof, walked into Emanuel AME Church as sat for a hour before opening fire and killing nine people. The ages of the victims that lost their lives ranged from 26 to 87. Roof had a history of supporting the confederacy as well as apartheid patching on his clothing.

This is more than just an awkward juxtaposition. As Cornell historian Edward Baptist explains in a series of chilling tweets, the Confederate flag isn't just a symbol of the pro-slavery rebellion, it's also a symbol of post-Civil War white supremacy — including the KKK and other groups that expressed that supremacy violently, at times by attacking black churches. That it's flying today, after what Charleston police are describing as a hate crime, is profoundly ugly.

"This is an unspeakable and unfathomable act by somebody filled with hate and a deranged mind," Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley said in a Thursday morning press conference. He vowed that authorities were "committed to finding this horrible scoundrel."
