Utah’s Gay Marriage Ban Is Ruled Unconstitutional

SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge on Friday struck down Utah’s same-sex marriage ban, saying it was unconstitutional.

[2ndDivisionVet]

The polygamy ruling was just restricting Utah from prosecuting people for cohabitating, it did not keep them from prosecuting bigamy. It was based on and brought by the people on that Sister Wives show, IIRC. They were being charged even though he’s only legally married to one of those ladies. The judge felt that Utah’s law went too far.

No mention of an appeal. Typical NY Slimes selective “reporting.”

If Justice Anthony Kennedy had a soul, he would realize the monster he has unleashed with his DOMA decision.

He handed the vicious sodomites a huge club with which to beat normal Americans.

[manc]

utter B/S, soon it will be all states with fed judges choosing to ignore the 10th

[ilovesarah2012]

So polygamy has to be legal, marrying your sibling must be legal. Where will it end?

[OldNavyVet]

And the anarchy continues.

Anarchy is defined as the complete absence of government.

Personally, I'm straight; but I know some homosexuals and I think they have rights beyond your personal imagination.

BUT, it will be construed to mean that they MUST be recognized, just as Lawrence v. Texas, made sodomy "legal" nationwide, was cited extensively to force counterfeit marriage on multiple states.

Yes, this is the Lawrence of the polygamists.

Phil Robertson for president!

here is a thought , if those homosexuals want their sham then they can move to places like MA and stay there but we all know this is not about marriage , this is about a bigger homo agenda and closing down the first and tenth amendments.

The amount of homosexuals I;ve seen and know of who have moved out of places like CA and MA and then come south telling us all how they are married is stunning.

They are not married here and they should go back north or the west coast if they want their perverted sham

[lesko]

Hey judge - I declare your ruling unconstitutional. Two can play this game.

[fwdude]

You apparently have no idea what “rights” are, Leftist.

[manc]

weird that because I searched and searched and found nothing that they have a right to marry

[Ingtar]

It really would work better if Federal judges at least read the Constitution once.

[AnAmericanAbroad]

Loving v. Virginia is the way that SCOTUS will ultimately rule on same-sex marriage.

It’ll be almost the same decision verbatim, with necessary changes re: same-sex couples/interracial couples.

I figure in less than five years. Maybe as few as two.

What do you mean?

[JediJones]

And don’t forget to thank Donald Trump for letting transsexuals in beauty pageants.

And of course it’s unconstitutional to not let boys be voted the prom queen or girls the prom king now.

Hollywood will probably repeal best actor and actress Oscars soon and make those awards unisex.

Where will it end?

Societal collapse, ruin and domination by stonger nations...probably not if our lifetimes but eventually. The trend is still reversable, but every passing day makes a reversal less likely.

[PubliusMM]

It’s only un-Constitutional if you accept that FedGov has ANY authority to legislate in this subject.

Hint: They DON’T.

This is a State’s Rights issue.
