Protester Removed From SCOTUS Courtroom After Anti-Gay Rant
Oral arguments at the Supreme Court in the Obergefell v. Hodges case were interrupted on Tuesday afternoon by a man inside the courtroom screaming his opposition to same-sex marriage, according to multiple news reports.
TPM Bureau Chief David Kurtz, who was reporting from inside the hearing, said a white male stood up and began shouting approximately thirty minutes into the oral argument.
Kurtz was unable to distinguish the exact words of the protester. However, in an audio clip published by WFPL producer Laura Ellis, it's clear the man yelled, "The bible teaches us that if you support gay marriage, you will burn in hell!” and that gay marriage is an "abomination to god."

Anyone want to guess who the guy is? My money's on Randall Terry.
