I agree, but not because of this ruling, but because of the shocking comments made by Kennedy in the majority opinion for the DOMA case. He basically calls those against gay marriage the spawn of Satan - really.

Go read it when you have a chance, but not on a full stomach. Actually, just read Scalia's scathing dissent, Kennedy's words are included there, and you can at least take pleasure in Scalia's words of wisdom.

See post 234.

He doesn’t need to even try it in the South. Illinois would be sufficient.

Hey, maybe I’m wrong about it. I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t someone, say, within a week, married in say, VT, and moving to Illinois to try to over turn the law.

Let’s see if I’m right here.

With Obamacare, you’re already mandated to pay for sodomites health care bills. That’s the whole purpose of it. Anal fissures and all.

A lot of the problems go away once the commie systems are destroyed.

Exactly. Such things like defining marriage were never an issue until we started handing out benefits for being married....or minority....or disabled...

Agreed, the transformation of the USA that the resident occupier in chief spoke of has accelerated greatly. The USA is now officially, irrevocably doomed as a nation. There is now no turning back.

Why stop at marriage? Why can’t two people, regardless of marital status, “team up” to receive surviving spouse benefits upon the death of the other? Why does there have to be presumed sexual contact?

Really, the government should NOT be in the marriage business anyway - it’s a religious based phenomenon that exists between Man, Woman, and God.

I should have included getting the government out of schools.

Giving government power enables that power to be seized by the unscrupulous. That power can be wielded against society. That power has been given and has been wielded by the unscrupulous to bend society in ways it did not desire.

Hence, it goes back to the State Court decision, which struck down the amendment. Perfectly sound decision, and why Roberts AND SCALIA ruled as they did.

Uh no. It was a federal court. The homo judge Walker was a federal judge (now retired).

I know homosexual “unions” are recognized. They are identical to marriages in the eyes of the law. But “unions” were never good enough for the sodomites. They wanted “marriage”. They wanted nothing in the world but the meaning of the word marriage to include them. That’s what they were shooting for. Now two buddies, as straight as arrow, who just don’t want to get married, or get married again, can “marry” their drinking buddy and cheat on federal taxes. That’s really all this new definition goes. It allows scammers and here they come. Kennedy is an idiot. Wonder if this was even discussed during the proceedings. The people that should be really pissed are the California voters,who said no to sodomite “marriage”, then a faggot judge comes along and rules it unconstitutional and the US Supreme Court lets him get by with it. They are the ones that that should be mad. The Supreme Court said we no longer live in a country by the people for the people. Now it’s a judge who calls the shots and determines what’s right and wrong. I would suspect that the liberal judges will try the same thing in all the states that have outlawed queer “marriage”.

As I read Leviticus, the next appointed day for God is July 7/8 and it is the feast of weeks or Pentecost.... that would be an interesting day to watch for news.

Hmmm... I didn’t realize that present health care insurance only covered heterosexuals.

It’s an amazing system. It’s called:

“pay for your own damn healthcare”.

This is what happens when 1/2 of the population gets a leg up on taxes or any other benefits that our GOVERNMENT stupidly passes a law. Why sould a law benefit only 1/2 of the populkation? In order to have true freedom, we must accept everybody as they are, as long as they aren’t committing any crime. No extra benefit for any portion of the population, while the others are getting the shaft. Let’s rid ourselves of all these TAX laws with preferrance of some and not for all. Let’s leave it to everybody’s conscience.

NY sodomite “marriage” was not voted in by the people. It was strong-armed in by monkey-face Cuomo. He signed legislation making it law after the liberal NY legislature passed it. NY voters had nothing to do with it.
