To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."

You must have missed an earlier thread where Mikey argued (for no convincing or tenable reason mind you) that courts (or governments) don't grant rights.
This brings us to the "who grants rights?" argument, the embodiment of civilized and organized societies (governments, at least from a de facto enforcement standpoint) or (the ostensibly Christian) God?
