Can someone post the number of states that have already legalized gay marriage. Ping!
The Liberals on the Court will be conflicted about making a ruling that violates Sharia law.
Why? Are they trying to hook up with each other?
Hasn’t every single district court already been taken over by the body snatchers? And wasn’t it until that was accomplished that they were waiting before pushing it up the ladder?
It seems to me that if the USSC rules that the marriage laws in a state are unconstitutional , then wouldn’t those couples that are married under those same laws are no longer married...
Wouldn’t they have to remarry to be legal?
Is it constitutional to restrict homosexuality because of the health hazards, as they do with smoking?
The court will rule that homosexual marriage is a civil right and impose same on all 50,states.
Since the court has four strong liberals, and a 5th justice, Kennedy, who has been a forceful advocate for homosexual rights in the court, 5 of 9,justices are clearly in favor of homosexual marriage.
In 2013, Kennedy voted with the liberals in that 5-4 decision mandating federal recognition of homosexual marriage from states in which homosexual marriage had been legalized.
This next case this year will be the one which imposes homosexual marriage nationwide. Since we already know 5,out of 9 justices favor homosexual marriage, it is a foregone conclusion what the decision will be.
I think they’re just going to look at it as a contract between 2 people...and nothing more. No religious or moral application.
Homosexual marriage is really important.
...”Procreation is the essence of life”...this is an unarguable truth and any individual or organization that says otherwise is not only wrong but clinically ill.
With all due respect to Archbishop Cordileone, he needs to get up to speed on 10th Amendment powers versus 14th Amendment protect rights. From a related thread, please consider the following.
As a consequence of widespread ignorance of 10th Amendment-protected state powers versus constitutionally non-enumerated rights, the pro-gay marriage movement is wrongly getting away with shoving constitutionally unprotected gay marriage down everybody’s throats with a PC interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s (14A) Equal Protections Clause (EPC).
More specifically, activist judges are wrongly subjectively reading the so-called “right” to gay marriage into the EPC. But by doing so they are wrongly ignoring that the Supreme Court has historically clarified that 14A added no new protections to the Constitution. With respect to constitutional rights, it was intended only to strengthen only those rights expressly amended to the Constitution by the states.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
In fact, the Supreme Court was likely basing its clarification of the scope of 14A on the official clarification of 14A by John Bingham, the main of Section 1 of 14A where the EPC is found.
“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amended Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution [emphasis added].” — Congressional Globe, House of Representatives, 42nd Congress, 1st Session. (See lower half of third column.)
So in order for the courts to apply the so-called “right” to gay marriage to the states via 14A, the states would have already had to amend the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage as a right, imo, which they have never done. So activist justices and judges don’t have any constitutionally enumerated gay rights protections that they can apply to the states.
Again, special interest groups are getting away with using judicial activism to shove their agendas down people’s throats because nobody knows the Constitution and its history anymore.
will roberts pull a fast one like he did with obamacare? you just can’t trust any republicans anymore, like justice kennedy...
