One bunch of retards in black robes (SCOTUS)is saying that Marriage is a State issue (DOMA is Unconstitutional), and another bunch of retards in black robes (CIRCUIT and STATE COURTS)is saying States can't define or regulate marriage in any way, shape, or form.

The faggots have been celebrating prematurely, because this WILL get straightened out.

Maybe the Florida idiot hack Judge from Broward County didn't read this opinion by the DC SCOTUS idiot Kennedy.

"DOMA's unusual deviation from the usual tradition of recognizing and accepting state definitions of marriage here operates to deprive same-sex couples of the benefits and responsibilities that come with the federal recognition of their marriages.

This is strong evidence of a law having the purpose and effect of disapproval of that class.

The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the States."

In other words, SCOTUS has ALREADY ruled that the States have the UNQUESTIONED right to define marriage, it is not a Federal issue.

Yeah, it’s not. Until it is!

We will see if Kennedy stays true to that comment or if he will say that the states unquestionably have the right to legitimately define marriage. . . blah blah blah. I can so see him doing this.
Time will tell.
