Confirmed, no stay in place in Utah. Grrrrrrr.

[cloudmountain]

Even the Mormons couldn't stem the flow of the sodomite urge to marry and reproduce...what together? bm's??
DISGUSTING, unnatural and sinful. What on EARTH sends a boy/man to another boy/man? What sickness?

“The decision marks an ongoing nationwide shift toward allowing gay marriage.”

No, the decision marks another example of legislating from the bench and overturning the people’s will.

So, they get their soiled foot in the door, and nothing will dislodge it.

WE vote for laws that are thrown out by appointed judges and the powers that be commit crime after crime and are not called to account-indeed they prosper.

A reckoning is coming and the longer it takes getting here the harder it will be.

[Ransomed]

I like how the article calls it simply a ‘law.’ I mean we are talking about the Utah constitutional amendment here, right?

I wonder if this one goes to the SC if the will interpret it like CA’s prop. 8 or if this is the end of state marriage amendments everywhere.

soft tyranny

activist judges should be tarred and feathered

[greene66]

It does seem insane, if not ironic. We spent ten years fighting Islamo-fascists overseas, only to see the country defeated stateside by homo-fascists. America is being taken over by evil.

Utah should be so proud. Now all they need is their cut of the 50 million freeloading foreigners who illegally oozed their way into America under the cover of darkness to take a swing at the BIG piñata.

[Tau Food]

The polygamists are going to try to use the homos to get a legal leg up. It's disgusting. A lot of Romney supporters seemed to overlook this development.

What will be left of marriage when these folks are done?

[nickcarraway]

If they can’t prevent gay marriage in Utah, it’s legal everywhere, as suspected. The fact is, the left can do anything they want. If they don’t press for every extreme thing they want, it’s their fault they don’t get it.

[Windflier]

Quack!

"She couldn't immediately say how many licenses have been issued so far. U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby ruled that a law passed by voters in 2004 violates gay and lesbian couples' rights to due process and equal protection under the 14th Amendment. "

Ain't it amazing that those guys who passed the 14th amendment 150 years ago and all those states that ratified it were so friendly to homo marriage? < /s >

Do these courts even look at original intent anymore, or do they just make it up as they go? (Sorry, rhetorical question.)

[fwdude]

Isn't it telling how we now see solid jurisprudence completely being discarded? In any normal case, such a decision would have required several weeks of examination, the chance for the defenders to appeal, and a cooling off period before implementation. This was staged by the sodomites from the beginning. They were given advanced notice of this decision, and the fact that it would not be stayed, and were probably waiting at courthouse doors when the decision was "given."

Highest corrupt collusion we've ever seen.

[Gamecock]

Next you’ll be hearing about gay polygamist marriages.

[heye2monn]

Thank you, John Roberts. Your recent homosexual decisions paved the way for this. Liberal and RINO judges are having a field day.

[SisterK]

Wow. Two states this week, New Mexico and Utah, legalize gay marriage. We are on a roll now.
Waiting for the lightening strike.

[utford]

Can’t the state just refuse to recognize the right of a single federal judge (or any federal entity for that matter) to tell a sovereign state that they have to violate their own Constitution (and a perverted - literally - reading of the Federal one)?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

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

[11th_VA]

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?
