“at least one county clerk intended to open early Saturday to issue licenses.”
Then order the damn state troopers to arrest him. The AG has the authority of the law in Utah, not some Obammunist appointed judge. If Utah does not crack down on what is a clear breach of its sovereignty by Obama’s judicial nitwits, then it essentially surrenders all its rights as a state.
We wouldn’t have let Utah join the union had it been apparent it would roll over and be raped by the tyranny of a future Stalinist usurper. All states have the responsibility and duty to resist tyranny on this scale.
Now, in the olden days, that judge would next be seen walking down an Idaho or Wyoming road clothed in nothing but tar and feathers. His butt would be bloody from riding a split rail fence post, sharp side up.
Legislation from the Bench’ll do that to ya.
let’s see, they have the mormons and varied splinter groups of them, they have bigamy and multiple spouse marriages,,,etc. etc. and they are willing to capitulate on same sex marriage.....ASTOUNDING
yeah, you get just one bad/crazy/idiot judge and s/he can throw a whole state (or Roberts, nation) into turmoil....
we need a new system....
UT is not that conservative; people there just think Orrin Grant Hatch, sponsor of the Ruth Bader Ginsburg nomination, is “a conservative.”
Looks like the GiBLeT crowd wasn’t caught off guard.
Republican senator Orrin Hatch recommended Judge Shelby for appointment to the U.S. District Court in November 2011.
Both Republican Senators from Utah, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, endorsed his nomination.
Shelby’s nomination was confirmed by the Senate in a voice vote September 22, 2012.
He received his appointment from Obama on September 25, 2012.
There may be something else happening~~~~with “gay marriage” being considered marriage equality~~~how about polygamy? Isn’t that big in Utah????
It’s past time for a constitutional amendment. The people are overwhelmingly against gay marriage. It’s being forced on us by the Democrats and the judiciary.
The Mormon church and most Mormons used to be conservative rock ribbed Republicans 30-40 years ago. This has been wearing down for years. They are pretty squishy these days. As squishy as Mitt Romney and their Governor Huntsman who was even more squishy liberal
1970′s “Live and let live.”
1980′s “Tolerance! Tolerance!”
1990′s “Don’t shove your values down my throat!”
2000′s “We expect you to change your lives to honor our lifestyle; we have no tolerance for your beliefs. We’re going to shove our values down your throat.”
2010′s “…and if that doesn’t work, we’re going to get the government to bully you into submission.”
2013 It’s fine if you have beliefs as long as you keep them to yourselves – in other words, you’d better violate your conscience always or else.
2016 Discrimination against all social conservatives is now legal – because they’re just bigots and deserve it.
2017 Hiring any social conservative to a higher education or K-12 institution is illegal since it violates diversity for gays.
2018 Social conservative businesses must be forced to close down because they are like Jim Crow.
2019 Special ghetto areas implemented where social conservatives are allowed to live – they can still tell each other their beliefs since we greatly respect freedom of speech as laid out in the 1st Amendment.
2020 – Children of social conservatives must be taken away from them because what happens if one develops a homosexuality problem and the parents do not think it is normal? Child abuse is unacceptable in our progressive and diverse society.
Utah passed it’s marriage amendment by 66% in 2004.
Freegards
again, idiot and treasonous judges think THEY are the authors of our Constitutions and what they say about “rights”, not we the people
