Rick Wiles said he believed that the government would go as far as deploying an "EMP" attack -- an electromagnetic pulse generated by the detonation of a nuclear weapon in orbit -- against states that resist the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide .

First off, I get this source is reporting claims. The author didn't say this...

Regardless, I'm not sure how this claim could be considered anything but sensational. EMP weapons are not directable-field tech. You cannot target a state from orbit. Furthermore, missiles are slow, and traceable by satellite. Hence, the US would have to be in a full blown war before they could justify using such tech against itself. And the article suggests that a stste could be a target over a social issue rules on by that supreme court?

I'm sorry, but even if everything else in that article was gospel, I'm still not buying in. We need evidence behind our claims if we are to be take seriously. If a person does not actively disclaim their theories and hypotheses, they are doing a disservice to the critical thinkers.

This is not a source of info for critical thinkers, this is fear porn.

I was agreeing with the article's tone that wild speculation is bad.
