Conservative officials in some of the six states where Supreme Court action this week likely cleared the way for same-sex weddings say they won’t issue marriage licenses to gay couples until their hands are forced. Now, gay rights advocates are preparing to do just that.
James Esseks, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project, called the court’s action a “watershed moment for the entire country,” and other gay rights activists described plans Tuesday to challenge remaining bans. …

States need to refuse to recognize the authority of federal courts to control state matters.
Court opinions or laws that clearly violate the laws of nature and nature’s God, or our constitutions, are null and void.
This is fundamental.
Question. Why isn’t it called queer marriage or homosexual marriage? Word games? Just wondering.
Exactly right, one judge should not be able to overule, entire state legislatures and governors. That is NOT a check and balance. That is a blatant power grab.
Absolutely. They had better fight this. Because if they don’t, they’ll just be proving that not only the 10th Amendment, but for all practical purposes, the Constitution is dead.
This is really the end-game when it comes to the American experiment. The key moment in which we learn whether there will be a country left that is even worth fighting for.

I think they didn’t rule, because they know the SSM bans are legal, so this is a way to polevault the homosexual agenda, hoping it’ll get so far, it’ll be accepted by states that adamantly refuse it.
Only question, who decides to refuse a case? Is it the Chief Justice, or do they vote? Because I assume not all the judges are planning to further the homosexual agenda.
“States need to refuse to recognize the authority of federal courts to control state matters.”
That has been done in the past and Lincoln went to war and Eisenhower sent in federal troops.
Obama, would put boots on the ground and they would be supplemented with drones in the air and aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Mexico.
I can tell you right now. If fag-marriage is forceably implemented in my state and across the country by these degenerate tyrants. That’s not an America that I will support or serve. That’s an America I’ll do everything in my power to fight and destroy. And I have no qualms whatsoever about taking down arms from my mantle, and pulling the trigger. The people pushing this depraved evil onto this once-great country are not my fellow citizens nor my fellow countrymen.
The willful misinterpretation of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment by this court will go down in history as a burlesque of law.
Changing the clear definition of a word to mean something totally different from its common understanding destroys to the concept of law incorporated in a national language and it’s ultimate effect is to deconstruct not just the fabric of the laws but the very nation itself.
Supreme Court appointments are dependent on use of that power. There is no reason that impeachment cannot be employed when the power is abused.
What’s sad is the lack of politicians who are willing to stand for their states. We need some Robert E. Lees who will stand with their home state over the feds.
too bad wisconsin isn’t one of them. walker just frenched out yesterday on this.
It’s time to start burying these REPROBATES, and that includes the judges.
I know what you mean by that phrase “frenched out”, but at first glance it made me think that Walker “frenched” a dude . . .
There can be no more hiding from culpability here. Every actor in this assault on liberty must be identified. No Cover! They will run, but they must not be allowed to hide. They must be confronted directly.
When unelected blackrobes can so casually overturn a maxim of western civilization, it is time for change.
What’s sad is the lack of politicians who are willing to stand for their states.
There should be an overwhelming groundswell from the states to meet in an Article V state convention to propose amendments. It is the constitutional method to deal with unconstitutional government.
