"So the states are free to make 10th Amendment-protected state laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected gay marriage"

I hope that's the way the USSC see it. Otherwise, what's to prevent other forms of "marriage" -- polygamy, incestuous marriage, etc.

"I see the SCOTUS determining that marriage is entirely a States issue with no Federal involvement on both items."

They didn't rule that way on mixed marriages.

Yes. The court will rule that there is a constitutional right to homosexual marriage

Yup. The same court that has already decided that there is no right to continue living unless you pay money to one of the government's crony insurance companies for the privilege of doing so.

The case for polygamy is MUCH stronger that that for homosexuals pretending to be married.

Given the right case, you can bet on legalized polygamy very soon.

You may be right even though that really has nothing at all to do with the question before them. In order to approve gay marriage, it seems that someone would need to prove that homos are being denied a right that someone else has. There is no such right among heterosexuals. No straight person has ever had the right to marry within their own sex, therefore no such right exists to be violated.

Same here. I will be expecting maximum Judgement to fall on this nation.

We need someone to post the picture of Charlton Heston kneeling before the remains of the Statue of Liberty: “You blew it up! God damn you all to Hell!”

Correct. If homosexuality is a choice, then they are not being denied the ability to marry, they are simply choosing not to avail themselves of the option to marry.

The only leg those who support gay marriage have to stand on, is the belief the being gay is not a choice, it who the are.

Is there a connection between beautiful New England and entire American cities turned into smoking rubble? There is.
Take same-sex marriage. I would have guessed that a “sin” city (San Francisco? Las Vegas?) would have been the first to legalize it.
Oddly it’s been the place where America started that’s wanted to be the first place to help bring about the end of America and its values! It’s been a Nor’easter of Perversion (helping to fulfill the end time “days of Lot” predicted in Luke 17) that began in (you guessed it) Boston in 2004.
New England has gone from the Mayflower Compact to the Gay Power Impact, from Providence to decadence, from Bible thumpers to God dumpers, from university to diversity to perversity, and from the land of the Great Awakening to God’s Future Shakening that will make the Boston bombings look like Walden Pond ripples by comparison!
The same Nor’easter has been spreading south and as far west as Washington State where, after swelling up with pride, Mt. Rainier may wish to celebrate shame-sex marriage by having a blast that Seaddlepated folks can share in lava-land!
The same Luke 17 prediction is tied to the Book of Revelation which speaks of the cities that God will flatten because of same-sexism - including American cities - a scenario I’ll have to accept since I can’t create my own universe and decree rules for it.
I’ve just been analyzing the world’s terminal “religion” that has its “god,” its accessories, its “rites,” and even a flag. It’s an obsession that the infected converts are willing to live for, fight for - and even die for!
Want more facts? Google “God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up,” “Universal GAYety is Coming,” “FOR GAYS ONLY: Jesus predicted,” “ ‘Jesus Never Mentioned Homosexuality’ - When Gays Have Birthdays...,” “Harvey Milk Stamped ‘Out’ Forever” and “The Background Obama Can’t Cover Up.”

I think we’re all reading this wrong, folks; the Supreme Court is going to rule on whether or not Supreme Court justices of the same sex can marry each other.

:)

And therein lies the rub, no?: ‘to PERMIT same-sex’. If it’s a Right, there is no thought to needing a license. I was surprised the ‘logic’ in the Heller decision re: the 2nd; which is still being perverted (no pun intended) to this day.

If the 14th and the Full Faith require same-sex marriage, then, logically We the People all have Constitutional carry, any ‘licensed’ professional in one State may practice in another, illegal drivers licenses are valid in all 50 States, etc.

I agree. Especially since polygamy WAS legal at one time.

"activist justices and judges actually have no constitutionally enumerated gay marriage or abortion rights to apply to the states via 14A."

The USSC found that women have a constitutionally protected right to privacy, and that abortion falls under the right to privacy.

We may all agree that abortion has nothing to do with privacy, but that's how they ruled.

"The USSC found that women have a constitutionally protected right to privacy, and that abortion falls under the right to privacy."

Activist justices wrongly established the so-called right to have an abortion outside the framework of the Constitution as per the following explanation.

Note that neither of the words “privacy” or “abortion” are constitutional terms. But as I indicated in my previous post, the states would have to amend the Constitution to expressly protect both privacy and abortion, imo, in order for the Supremes to be able to apply such enumerated rights to the states via the 14th Amendment.

But with all due respect to mom & pop, as a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are being taught the differences between legislative and judicial powers, the activist justices who decided Roe v. Wade got a free pass to do the following. They were able to pull the wool over the eyes of clueless state lawmakers and citizens by wrongly politically “amending” the so-called Democrat-favoring, vote-winning “rights” to privacy and abortion to the Constitution from the bench.
