Complete Headline: Federal Judge: Right to Same-Sex Marriage Is 'Deeply Rooted in Nation’s History and Implicit in The Concept of Ordered Liberty'
Judge Robert J. Shelby, whom President Barack Obama appointed to the U.S. District Court in Utah last year, issued an opinion on Friday declaring that a right to same-sex marriage is "deeply rooted in the nation’s history and implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.
Shelby was confirmed to the federal bench by a voice vote of the Senate on Sept. 21, 2012. There was no debate over his nomination, and no senator objected to his confirmation.
He has now issued an opinion that could fundamentally alter American law and culture.
“The State’s second argument is that the Plaintiffs are really seeking a new right, not access to an existing right,” Shelby wrote in an opinion issued on the afternoon of the Friday before Christmas.
“To establish a new fundamental right, the court must determine that the right is ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’ and ‘implicit in the concept of ordered liberty,’ such that ‘neither liberty nor justice would exist if [it] were sacrificed,” he said.
This unanimously-confirmed, not-debated-on-the-Senate-floor, Obama-nominated judge then proceeded to do that just that.

No, but the right to mine coal is.
Thanks Zakeet.
Is it time to start shooting yet?
You beat me to it. Off the scale on mine.
If there is ever another civil war, this commie scum will wish he had fled to Europe.
where do they dig up such stark-raving idiots?
judges should not be allowed to make laws
And this guy was unanimously confirmed. Imagine the raving lunatics that need the removal of the “nuclear option” to get confirmed!
Ditch Mitch!
judges should not be allowed to write laws, neither should they be allowed to rewrite American history
(same comments apply to anybody occupying the White House, too)
Doesn’t he though!!
Historical revisionism - Hitler style
A man cannot be a wife and a woman cannot be a husband - that’s language - that’s reality. “Rights”, new or old, has nothing to do with it. You can’t have a “right” to something that not only does not exist, but cannot exist.
The State of Utah should ignore this black-robed tyrant’s ruling. Force the issue. The best way to expose a tyrant is force them to act like a tyrant. These Marxists are going to push and push and push until its Stalinist Russia redux. We need somebody somewhere to take a stand now while we still have a fighting chance to restore liberty in this country.
Be nice folks. Even the mentally ill need jobs. Just wish they did not give them jobs where they can screw America..........
The right (and obligation) to indict, try, convict, and sentence Judge Robert J. Shelby for giving aid and comfort to the enemy is 'deeply rooted in our nation's history.'
