Dead culture.
And restore it he will.
Sodom revisited.
No Surprise Roberts himself is a FAGGOT Lover. I DESPISE THESE 9 BASTARDS!
Supreme Court = Owned
Article V Marriage Amendment needs 36 states to propose, 38 states to ratify.
There are 38 states in support now.
I just can’t wait for the flood of homos at the local courthouse.
The Founders never intended for the courts to wield this kind of backdoor legislative power.
Sad.
Disgraceful, a lot more disgraceful to bring kids up in this and someone like the Russians look like the moral ones.
Wow. So they let lower court judges overturn the will of the people?
What I don’t like is that:
a) a state of legislators with the approval of voters pass a ban on gay marriage.
b) a special interest group challenges it in court.
c) a liberal judge upholds the challenge.
d) a series of appeals courts also uphold the challenge while largely kicking the can up to the Supreme Court.
e) The Supreme Court then refuses to hear the appeals.
Notice who got left out of the process of legalizing gay marriage in most of these states? That’s right. It’s the voters and their elected representatives who, in most cases, expressed their disapproval by passing the bans to begin with.
Note one major difference between this and the judicial fiat of abortion. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court upheld (agree with it or not) a constitutional right to an abortion which then put the onus on the states to overturn incrementally.
Here, the SCOTUS has NOT ruled that gays have a right to be married, only that they would not rule on a ban of such behavior.
I have no argument with the states that passed gay marriage through the vote of the people or the state legislative process but to say that conservative states now have legal gay marriage because the bans of such were denied by federal court is turning representative democracy on its head.
“Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.”
3 solid red states, close to 4 red states and a purple state.
Utah?
They have not left anything unresolved. They have made it clear they expect every other court to follow suit and legalize homosexual marriage. Unhappily, this has been the result of 50+ years of viewing marriage as being about adult happiness rather than building the next generation and a societal interest in stable families raising kids with effective role models.
But if anyone had opposed easy divorce laws in the 60s based on the idea that a slippery slope had been created that would allow homosexuals marriage to be endorsed by the US government, they would have been laughed at!
Denying the appeals is effectively ruling against them, in those cases where the status quo allows SSM. This is a bad outcome.
This non-ruling will effectively make it legal in 30 states and DC. Aside from the 5 listed above, it also will make it legal in North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming.

“The Supreme Court refused to get involved in the national debate over same-sex marriage Monday, leaving intact lower court rulings that will legalize the practice in 11 additional states.
“The unexpected decision by the justices, announced without further explanation, immediately affects five states in which federal appeals courts had struck down bans against gay marriage: Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Utah.
“It also will bring along six other states located in the judicial circuits overseen by those appellate courts: North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming. Lower court judges in those states must abide by their appeals court rulings.”
The sane response is to begin secession immediately. We cannot be a part of a profligate, fascist government any longer.

You don't honestly believe that lesbians innocently chose "Christian bakeries and photographers" to demand their "right to be served" do you?
Nope, it's the "we just want to be left alone to live our lives" folk that seek out those they know, find their choice of behavior to be an abomination in the sight of God, to demand their "rights," knowing full well that liberal jurists will grant their "right to be served" by anyone wishing to earn their livelihood in Amerika.
That this is virtual forced slavery of the worst kind, seemingly matters not in Amerika today. God help us!
