Plus, it still leaves states free to make the appalling decision to legalize homosexual marriage; they just have to call it by another name, and the decision must come from their legislatures, not their courts.
Well, that's an interesting statement. I rather think they've done their level best thus far, with much success.
A constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage would be fine if they could do it without monkeying with the other amendments. But if the rats get a shot at the 2nd amendment they will try their best to change it so that only police and military have a right to bear arms.
Instead:
1) Protect the border.
2) Make this a War for Infinite Justice.
3) Impeach the insane Judges. Then they will not be there to interpret the Constitution THEIR way.
There is absolutely no need for actions like that of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, except to impress the opinion of the elite on the populance. Gays can have everything they want, except respect in domestic partnerships. That is why in Scandanavia, where gay marriage is legal, there are so few.
So why the brouhaha, Because the real purpose is to silence all criticism of the gay "lifestyle." If gay unions are sanctioned by law, then that makes it legally risky to speak out against their behavior, and socially it makes everyone who does seem like a bigot. That's Teddy Kennedy's ploy. Let us not debate about the rightness of wrongness of homosexuality. I don't want to hear your arguments.
So we are engaged in a great social experiment, where the norms of Christian morality are dumped into the trash can. We will see how things work out down the roads, but mostly likely the negative results will be ignored, just like the consequences of fault free divorce.
That's right. And those who wrote
the Constitution never dreamed that
the Justices upholding the laws would
venture into CREATING the laws. The
Libs keep saying we have outgrown the
narrow view of society laid down in
the 1787 document. NOW, they say
those on the right are
"taking the Constitution into areas where it was never meant to be, family law and morality."
So, we're to roll over and accept THEIR
view that any kind of behavior should
be acceptable without question since
any restriction would infringe on an
individual' RIGHTS to choose. And as
we have seen, that includes child sexual
abuse, adultery, porn, and any other
licentious behavior short of murder.
Check that, they also support abortion
by choice.
Yeah. The Constitution is dated all
right! And with NO reference to God
except in those final lines...
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent
of the States present the Seventeenth Day of
September in THE YEAR OF OUR LORD one thousand
seven hundred and Eighty seven...
