“Florida will become the 36th state to legally recognize same sex marriages.”
The remaining 14 states will stand strong.
They are not LEGALLY recognizing it. They have had it illegally forced on them by renegade judges. The legal vote by citizens of most of those states was ignored. As was the legal votes of the legislatures of those states ignored.
And just where does any judge get off issuing orders on holidays or weekends? No court challenges can be filed when courts are not open. So judges should be banned from this practice — period.
Mario Cuomo just died.
Another way of saying "we have legalized sodomy".
Another case of “evil never sleeps.”
The states didn't "recognize" squat. This is the work of a bunch of perverted, activist, Feral "judges". The tyrants overrode the states and the will of the people.
the homosexuals shouldn’t be so happy they have to use the Courts to get their way cause it shows they really don’t have the support of the vast majority of voters
Watch January 9th - next Friday. The Supreme Court will be considering another homo marriage case (I think from Louisiana).
If they grant cert, we’re going to see homo marriage in all 57 states in June.
THIS is Exactly what happened in MA! Dem Legislature refused , unconstitutionally to allow the ballot question to go forward.
NO ONE EVER VOTED FOR THIS!!
So it is written and so it is done.
Who needs voters and legislatures.
“Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being. And consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should, in all points, conform to his Maker’s will. This will of his Maker is called the law of nature. This law of nature, being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force and all their authority, mediately or immediately, from this original. The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures. These precepts, when revealed, are found upon comparison to be really a part of the original law of nature, as they tend in all their consequences to man’s felicity. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.”
— William Blackstone
“Upon this law, depend the natural rights of mankind, the supreme being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beautifying that existence. He endowed him with rational faculties, by the help of which, to discern and pursue such things, as were consistent with his duty and interest, and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty and personal safety.
“Hence, in a state of nature, no man has any moral power to deprive another of his life, limbs, property, or liberty; nor the least authority to command, or exact obedience from him....
“Hence also, the origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent? To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man the right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience.”
“When human laws contradict or discountenance the means, which are necessary to preserve the essential rights of any society, they defeat the proper end of all laws, and so become null and void.”
— Alexander Hamilton
Marriage is defined in the Florida Constitution as adopted by the People of Florida
ARTICLE I
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
SECTION 27. Marriage defined.—Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.
History.—Proposed by Initiative Petition filed with the Secretary of State February 9, 2005; adopted 2008.
No - it may be a happy day for the small percentage of the population who practice homosexual and lesbian sex.
But it is a sad day for the rule of law and the 62% of Florida voters who voted for a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a "legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife".
A few pro-homosexual judges have annulled the constitutional vote of almost 5 million voters who approved the constitutional ammendment.
Liberals claim they want a democracy but when the vote does not meet their approval they use any means possible to bypass the will of the people.
The Greeks and Romans had their GODS but we have a president who thinks he is a king and a smattering of judges who believe only they and the King should determine how the people should live.
Too late.
He already did his damage.
How many of the judges who have overturned state laws against homo marriages or just ordered states to permit them are homosexuals themselves?
How many others are sympathetic to, and biased in favor of, homosexual friends and relatives?
How many have been persuaded and influenced in other ways to make pro-homosexual decisions?
We will never know.
But a good number of them have discovered unwritten “rights” that never existed in any interpretation of the federal or state constitutions until the Homo Mafia with the help of the democrats pushed the issue on the nation.
