More than 300 veteran Republican lawmakers, operatives and consultants have filed a friend of the court brief at the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage late Thursday.
The amicus brief, organized by former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, was filed for the four same-sex marriage cases the Court will hear on April 28 that could legalize the unions nationwide. In 2013, Mehlman marshaled a similar effort for the case that overturned California’s Proposition 8, which had banned same-sex marriage in the state.

One of many truths that the American people cannot comprehend
Simple answer, too little way too late
There’s no prophetic indication of an Islamic takeover. There are many of a colossal conflict caused by them, though.
isn’t Mehlman an alternative lifestyle selector?
I think you nailed it:
nothing but inside the beltway idiocrats (for those in rio linda, idiot+bureacrat)
Disgusting!
More than 300 Republicans don’t know the Constitution and/or won’t defend the Constitution, America’s only bulwark of freedom against tyranny. The Constitution gives the feds no power to meddle in marriage.
More than 300 Republicans care more about short-term gain, political or otherwise, than the long-term future of America.
Oh but they just HAD to win the majority in the House and Senate so we could roll back all the things Obama has done to “transform” America like, Obamacare, Immigration, the trampling of States Rights vis-a-vis gay marriage and I could go on and on. There is no Republican Party. There is no Democrat Party. There is a fascist, statist, communist Uniparty hell bent on making us slaves.
WAKE THE HELL UP

So sadly true. Here, and also the huge demonstrations in France and the outcry in UK did no good whatsoever against The Conspiracy.
Will the homosexuals on the Supreme court be required to recuse themselves? Or will it be the straights?
Frankly, I believe that the churches, those who still teach the gospel anyway and have not cowtowed to the culture, should proclaim loud and clear, they perform and sanction Holy Matrimony ONLY. They can deal with whether or not they want a requirement for a license to be required. That imo is the only way to insure they will not have to marry gays. Recognizing of civil marriage by the churches is another thing they would have to deal with, whether to or not. The Catholics didn’t for many years, I have no idea if they do now or not.
Remember the days when people were considered white trash because they married their cousins. Now we have queers getting married. Who would have thought the sodomites would rise tower again? Dragging civilization back 4000 years is real progress.
The bisexual figure varying greatly for college age girls.
For the last three or four days there has been one poll after another touting how this group of Americans is for “gay” marriage. Homosexuals and the other sexually perverse radicals are on high alert. What’s up?
I’m very close to not identifying with ANY party. To back what the establishment GOP backs is becoming a sin for me.
God may very well Smite America sooner than we expect.
What I would like to know is, how did queer little creeps like Mehlman a) get the leadership slot at Red in the first place? (yes, yes, 43 appointed him), and b) where in hell did all these queans wind up at the top of the Republican Party?
Ike and Ronnie and Barry Goldwater would have hurled chunks.
That is, before the queers ran a compromising black-op on Barry involving a family member (I'm convinced it was one: They pulled the same crap on Bob Dornan and Jerry Falwell later on).
I once thought that perhaps Goldwater's episode was the template gays drew on for their later ambushes of Falwell, Dornan, and Dick Cheney (the long, strung-out one involving Mary Cheney, whom the diesels at the HRC/GLBT caucus were trying to get to come out so they could ambush/browbeat Dick and Lynn for four years before she finally came out). Now I think they must have known how to play that game before they went after a former nominee of the GOP, after which he famously went soft on homosexuality.
Footnote: In his Making of the President 1964, Theodore White recounted the mid-campaign Walter Jenkins affair, in which Jenkins, a prominent LBJ aide, was busted in a local YMCA men's room by DC Police for soliciting. White praised Goldwater for refusing campaign-staff entreaties to use the incident as part of Goldwater's morality offensive against the ineffably corrupt LBJ. In hindsight it appears that Barry may have been offered a demoralizing counterthreat by LBJ, whose appetite for opponents' peccadillos is a matter of historical record (see Robert Caro, throughout). LBJ had the full run of FBI raw files on everyone (as well as wiretap teams) and will probably have known about Goldwater's younger kinsman, even if Goldwater didn't. Or it may be that LBJ ordered Jenkins to take one for the team, in order to lure Goldwater out. File for later reference.
I think this battle is lost, and the Supreme Court decision is likely going to come down for same sex marriage, but still, why do this? What possible good can come from this? Why would these Republicans just spit in our collective eye, while rubbing salt in the wound, for no reason at all? What can they possibly think will come of their effort? It’s just amazing!!!
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
It’s almost as if Republicans aren’t an idealogical monolith like the Demwits are often (and often accurately) purported to be, i.e., Demwits are party-first, and Republicans think for themselves. :’)
