U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby

could be a reading comprehension issue ... Utah did not take action. Mr. Shelby is a federal judge.

Hollingsworth v. Perry
“Justice Anthony Kennedy in his dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Alito, Thomas and Sotomayor, expressed concern about the implications of the Supreme Court ruling...”

If people here disagree with the majority on Hollingsworth v. Perry ... they will likely get their chance now to have these cases heard on the merits.

“The Utah attorney general’s office says it plans to issue a statement on the ruling later.”

Roberts was with the dissent in the DOMA case.

Does this mean that in Utah, Bob can marry Joe, and Jim, and George, and Tom, and Bill?

Utah judges may be removed in one of two ways:

1)The judicial conduct commission may reprimand, censure, suspend, retire, or remove a judge. The commission's decisions are subject to review by the supreme court.

2)Judges may be impeached by a two-thirds vote of the house of representatives and convicted by a two-thirds vote of the senate.

What's the chance of #2 happening?

Given that it is a U.S. district judge, zero.

I didn’t say that and CERTAINLY didn’t mean that. But, if you don’t know my posts by now, then you will always interpret what I say the worst way.

Constitutions? The 10th amendment? The media doesn’t care. The biological deadends are getting “married”—for some unknown reason that serves no useful purpose.

not everyone here understands that there is a difference between a federal judge and a state judge. It seems to be an advanced concept.

Sheds light and why this is a lost cause for now.

There are many reasons why it is a lost cause, but to quote Rhett Butler—Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.

judges should not make law, the state government should simply refuse to honor the decision

Any county clerk not complying with this mandate could then be held in contempt of federal court. Utah would essentially have to set forth a law that anyone attempting to hold one of its clerks in contempt of federal court would be arrested and deemed in violation of Utah law to gain any footing here.

i do not know if butler was correct, but i do know that ignorance is not a virtue ... and there is plenty here on these Utah threads. Freeples really think this involves the Utah state government.

You are so right and that is the crux of the problem. Humans are hardwired from birth to crave both a male and a female gender model in their lives. Kids who are intentionally and purposefully denied this will often grow up maladjusted especially when even the gender model they are presented with is not true to form.
