Judges have no power to impose gay marriage
They cannot make law
Overturning a “ban” does not mean the state has to recognize gay “marriage”
Exactly what part of the Constitution does it violate?
The US Constitution says NOTHING about marriage.
Wisconsin passed it’s amendment by 59% in 2006. Wiki has Wisconsin actually having a repeal referendum scheduled for 2014, doubt that happens now.
I’ll never forget what the big media story was when judges struck down the first ones in this wave after the SC’s DOMA decision—it was about a cable reality show star saying he thought gay acts were gross right before Christmas. The station suspended him, the show’s merch sold out for Christmas as folks bought it in solidarity and they reinstated him in time for the premier episode which got record ratings. That was the big story.

A gay marriage ban was not the way to accomplish what the state wanted to accomplish. Their best route would have been to join with all the other states in DOMA type legislation that included a provision that it was not reviewable by the Scotus. Then, of course, there was the marriage amendment to the Constitution: marriage shall consist of a union only of one man and one woman.
As always conseratives were sold a bill of goods about DOMA when they should have pressed for the amendment. It would have passed back then.
Marriage is the Holy union of a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation.
A civil union is permission from the State for 2 individuals to receive the benefits and responsibilities of a union granted by the state.
its impossible to look at the 14th Amendment and see what these idiot judges “see”.
the federal govt isnt the only thing that needs to be abolished by “we the people”.
the peasants need to grab torches and pitchforks.
It would appear that Cobra’s disdain for judges was totally warranted. 90% scum.
She is not well thought of according to the posts on robe probe which rates judges.
Another one bites the dust.
Looks like Gavin Newsom was right when he said we’d be getting fag marriage “whether we like it or not”.
See? Summary judgment...the will of the people thwarted.
Pray for America. We are in danger.
Do the lovers of truth have any legal right of appeal?
I could see that IF the 14th Amendment were actually relevant here, that states would have to recognize marriages from other states, but to just tell a state that THEY MUST PERFORM THESE "MARRIAGES" is beyond the pail of despotism.
Liberals would argue that the 14th Amendment applies to force the states to issue and recognize homosexual marriage but somehow it doesn’t apply to the 2nd Amendment.
Are we still praying for Ted Kennedy. Come on!!!!!! One last time just for fun’!!!!!!!!! Prayers up for the lion of the senate.
Once again, the whim of a judge usurps the will of the people.
I do not get this. There has never been legal “gay marriage” and I doubt that any of its proponents could define what “gay marriage” is. The constitution says nothing about the exercise of bizarre behaviors which have never been tolerated in civil society. Yet, somehow, it is unconstitutional to say that marriage is the relationship between a man and a woman who are driven by instinct to form pair-bonds?
I really wish one of the Governors of the states that keep having an activist judge rule homo marriage unconstitutional stand up and say that marriage is a state issue so as a federal judge, you have no standing to rule on it and then go on to say that any marriage certificates given to so called “same sex” marriage will not be recognized.
