A federal judge on Monday ruled that clerks in Mississippi may not recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples based on religious beliefs, despite a bill passed by the state legislature intended to carve out that exception for them.

Progressivism: spattering us all with the vile filth that festers in the depths of the cesspool that is the popular culture.
No one gets to be really clean, no innocence is protected, where it gets its way.
> “Mississippi’s elected officials may disagree with Obergefell, of course, and may express that disagreement as they see fit - by advocating for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, for example,” wrote U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves in his ruling
A constitutional amendment? Really? To overturn a decision that has no basis in law, the Constitution, or reason? A decision which does not apply to anyone not a party in Obergefell?
This judge is a damn fool.
One vote and the first part of the first amendment is gone.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
What happens if the state of Mississippi refuses to obey?
I’m sure everyone remembers when gays used to say they didn’t want to force their lifestyle on other, they just wanted to live their lives. They lied.
This judge is a damn fool.
This judge is in trouble with God. Not a good thing.
“I see absolutely no value to a judge of spending decades, years, months, weeks, day, hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and its implementation,” [federal judge] Posner argued.
I guess that federal judge Richard Posner tells us it's OK to tell this other federal judge to jam his "ruling" up his 0bama sideways...
I would further move that the Mississippi clerks should line up and take turns at slapping the taste out of the federal judge's mouth...
Geez, the blackrobed clown has even got a fag name...
Patriots are reminded that the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage and abortion means that such issues are automatically and uniquely state power issues, not the business of the feds.
In fact, and with all due respect to the family and supporters of Terri Schiavo, the Supreme Court should have thrown out cases that challenged the constitutionally unchecked 10th Amendment-protected power of the states to prohibit gay marriage and abortion just like it refused to hear a case which challenged a constitutionally unchecked state euthanasia law.
And regardess that Congress has the constitutional authority to investigate state sovereignty-ignoring decisions by judges, all that we’re hearing from corrupt, RINO-controlled Congress about this judge’s decision is crickets. Corrections welcome.
Remember in November !
Patritots need to support Trump by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to not only support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also stop pro-LGBT activist federal officials from interfering with 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty.
Consider that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
I bet he laughs all the way to the bank.
The state is god. That is the ruling of the judge. Bow down to the state.
"Stay out of my bedroom" -> "Bake me a cake!"
Frigging' queers.
Mississippi ping
I remember.
