Legal move limits AG’s options to void Travis gay marriage

To follow through on his promise to void Thursday’s marriage between two Austin women, Attorney General Ken Paxton will have to file suit in state district court, most likely in Travis County. That’s because the lawyers for the women, Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant, quietly dismissed the lawsuit that prompted state District Judge David Wahlberg to order county officials to give them a marriage license.

Just appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.

Just ignore it. Let the lezbos play house. I would focus my attention on the judge. I wouldn’t try to impeach him. I would make his life a living hell so that he regrets the day he was born.

Obviously, Sarah is much more than a good friend-and the judge needs to be ostracized-can we still do that? I want homosexuals to go back in the closet-and for someone to lock the damned door as soon as they do...

[so_real]

Forget that. It's "voided", past tense, done. No need to file diddly. I would, however, put the hammer down on Judge David Wahlberg for being a judicial activist. Time for him to go. Dredge up the procedure for judicial impeachment ... begin today. That would be the contemporary equivalent of a tar-n-feathering.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Legal manuevering to ignore the voiding of the gay marriage aside, it remains that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay issues, gay marriage in this example. So the states are free to exercise their 10th Amendment-protected powers to make laws to prohibit constitutionally unprotected gay marriage, imo, as long as such laws do not also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.

The State Legislature can impeach.

And he would run again and get elected.

These criminal liberal activists did this in a backroom type deal with no warning or heads up to anybody.
Liberals NEVER GIVE UP and go around the law when it suits them.
They can have whatever they want removed or sewn on, but when they reach their final JUDGEMENT, they will be how He made them and their "marriage" will NEVER be approved.

“Liberals NEVER GIVE UP”

Do you ever give up?

That doesn't make sense.

[smokingfrog]

I hope you’re joking.

[RushingWater]

They are going to want a divorce in about 6 months . . . nah, maybe they’ll stay together just to be a political vanguard. Such a happy lifestyle.

[red-dawg]

Not like the GOPe does, caving in the face of any slight obstacle.

[nevergiveup]

Liberals NEVER GIVE UP...

Excuse me but you have me confused with somebody else.

[Oliviaforever]

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Now that they are married, there is no need to continue the case.

[bgill]

A sad day in Texas.

[smokingfrog]

Oh, I comprende now. thanks.

[Burkean]

I don’t understand it either. Why would they need to “quietly dismiss” it when the judge gave them what they were filing the lawsuit for?

[fwdude]

The Texas Supreme Court has already voided these improper “marriage” licenses.

This is the Austin Pravda reporting, nothing they write can be believed. They will not report the truth even if the continuance of their business requires it.
