No, they and the Supreme Court imagined that within the Constitution there was a right to homosexual marriage - something not seen since Lot exited a certain town several centuries before the birth of Christ. Just as they imagined there was a right to late-term, early-term and all other kinds of abortion - including after-birth abortion.
No offense, Doodle, but you seem to be unerringly on the wrong side of issues.
Thanks for the lively discussion.
How do you know what side of the issue I'm on?
Very good, what they did was void KY law, yes?
Now, please tell me since KY law was voided, under what authority did Davis have to issue any marriage licenses?
Can't wait to hear your response.....
LoL!
Most Texans I know are not so rude to a lady - unless maybe they’re a Democrat.
I apologize to all Texans and Washingtonians for my remarks. He just pissed me off, I’m afraid.
I have just noticed that generally you are on the wrong side of most issues.
I can’t blame you in the least for being pissed off, I was too, FRiend. :)
Only those parts of the law that prevented same-sex marriage.
Now, please tell me since KY law was voided, under what authority did Davis have to issue any marriage licenses?
See above. But if your contention is correct then are you saying that nobody in Kentucky can get married?
Can't wait to hear your response.....
Hope it was worth the wait.
Wow, when that Cross of perfection you believe you can carry should become so burdensome, I hope you can humble yourself to ask the one who can carry it for some help.
Because I disagree with you? I'll certainly never be lonely then.
“UMM, SCOTUS negated KY marriage law.”
Actually, they voided the part that prevented homosexuals from getting state approved marriages. They did NOT replace the entire law, nor void the entire law.
Given their decision had zero legal reasoning and made no effort to apply the Constitution, it may be reasonable to simply ignore the decision. But as a matter of practical politics, that is not going to happen. Kentucky and other states need to revise state laws to accommodate religious people and support freedom to exercise our religious beliefs.
Ah, no...there is no separation clause, the entire law was struck down.
See above. But if your contention is correct then are you saying that nobody in Kentucky can get married?
You got it, KY law in regards to marriage was negated.
Hope it was worth the wait.
Nah, but it was what I expected from you.
There is no separation in KY statutes pertaining to marriage law.
So yes, the entire law was struck down.
Remember? Same with the Obama care law, either it stood in its entirety or the whole thing had to be struck down.
That's why it got changed to be "constitutional" as a tax.
Not according to the court's decision.
You got it, KY law in regards to marriage was negated.
Did you tell all those people in Kentucky who got married this weekend?
Nah, but it was what I expected from you.
Likewise.
You mean the ones that are not valid and being contested?
You really do love to bow to your masters (courts) don't you?
Not me.
Just pray they are nice when they put the chains on, who knows, maybe they'll even feed you....if you do what they ask....
Can you name, specifically, the law(s) that were struck down?
Looks pretty much as I imagine...
Zactamundo...
“There is no separation in KY statutes pertaining to marriage law.”
This is what was struck down:
“Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”
That was Kentucky Constitutional Amendment 1, passed in 2004.
The ruling:
“Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriagebetween two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State.”
Notice it did not in any way invalidate all of Kentucky’s law concerning marriage. It was an evil decision that defies the US Constitution, but it did NOT invalidate all Kentucky marriage laws.
