Now that we’ve covered how overwhelmingly happy Hollywood is about today’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality, let’s turn to the darker reaches of Los Angeles. The place where people are less than thrilled with today’s decision. We speak, of course, of Adam Baldwin Land. The Firefly and Chuck actor sounded off on Twitter about the landmark case, and to say he has a dissenting opinion would be putting it mildly:

To be fair, he also retweeted someone saying they supported the decision, but doesn’t believe the court has the right to rule on it—a sentiment which will surely be widely shared by the many people who finally have some equal protection under the law today. If only Baldwin could have a bigger hand in shaping national policy, we could all be a little better educated:
