I disagree with Rush slightly, he seems to be saying that even if the Supreme Court rules their is no constitutional right to gay marriage, that the states will end up legalizing it anyway. I just don't see States, like my home state of West Virginia, where the polls show the opposition to gay marriage has actually increase from 68% in 2009 to 72% now, legalizing it anytime soon (soon being in my lifetime). Also many states have Constitutional Amendments, which take a super majority to repeal, so legalizing gay marriage wouldn't be as simple as passing a law.

DOMA only needs 40 stated to be overridden per its own language.

After the Obamacare ruling, I do expect anything good to come out of this SCOTUS. If I am pleasantly surprised by a ruling coming from this Court....great. But I am not counting on it.

How long before I can marry my wife’s sister and her daughter? Hey forget about North Korea, when obammma comes back from his vacation, he’ll apologize to N.K. and bow down to Dunghungloe or whatever his name is and then off to the vinyard for a well deserved break

True, but even if repealed DOMA doesn't have any effect on whether a state can ban gay marriage or not, all DOMA does is prevent federal recogniton (and benefits) to gay couples in the states that do recognize it.

None of this should even be debated on Capitol Hill. This is a state’s rights issue. If California wants to be the new Sodom, and Massachusetts the new Gommorah, then let them. The Feds should not be into this issue. This is a slippery slope into continued Federal overreach.

Our Founders are pissed.

Which states need super majorities to repeal their amendments? We are talking about the popular vote amendments or the the ones passed by the legislature or doesn’t that matter?

I’m thinking Louisiana won’t follow the Sodom course as well.

California voted against fags marrying.

True..it will be up to the states completely and I don’t see most changing their stances anytime soon.

But the courts and the state government won’t uphold it or defend the people.

No, they’ll ask your church to marry them and then imprison your pastor for refusing.

And it only gets worse from there.

Once this wall falls, so does EVERY other. When a civil right, that is a statue created by man and trump a natural right, that is an endowment from God, no natural right is safe.

This is the last wall. Once breached. The entire game of Western Civilization is over.

Prepare for a dark dark age.

It is amazing that our once great country as been reduced to accepting any decision made on demand of 1-2 percent of the population. It is disgusting that progressives have such little moral values. But, I guess they don't have to live up to much.

We started down this long and weary road in 1970, when Ronald Reagan signed no fault divorce into law in California. Before that, marriage was indeed viewed as sacred, special, and important. Now it is simply a social contract that arguably anyone can enter into and out of with impunity and without cause or reason.

If the Republican Party supports homosexual marriages, social-issue conservatives will abandon the Republican Party by the millions.

Yes, by the millions.

Hey, RINO’s: try to win a national election without us.

Sadly I have come to the same conclusion as Rush.

Only one side showed up for this PR battle (public opinion) and of course Obama got two SCOTUS picks, Kennedy is with them on the issue.
