By what right?!

" Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution."
James Madison Federalist No. 39, January 1788

There is no right of government to redefine marriage against the will of the people.

They polished them up and put make up on them for the court case.

We could save billions by eliminating legislators and the Congress, etc.

Judges are quicker and cheaper, evidently.

It’s becoming more and apparent that states should start the process of succession if this judicial tyranny continues.

Left Wing Loonie must be the main qualification to be a judge these days.

Just keep re-enacting it. Marriage is not a Federal matter.

In matters of power, whether temporal or eternal, it is best to commend all to the Creator, who will most perfectly exercise his prerogatives amidst mortals. Though outward appearances may addend otherwise, the enemy is “pwned.”

I’m waiting for gun rights activists to use this same strategy to make states recognize concealled carry licenses from other states.

What reason is there for Alabama to remain loyal to DC? They mock and destroy everything we are.

If the State must force me to acknowledge its power to declare two men to be “married”, then I must support
efforts to remove that power from the State. If people who don’t want God defining their personal morality
demand a separation of church and State then let us also have separation of marriage and State as well. If
those people don’t want any displays of the Ten Commandments in government buildings, they cannot hide behind
the Commandments that protect marriage when it comes to “marriage” that God cannot and will not sanction.

Oklahoma bill would put an end to marriage licenses

Oklahoma state Rep. Todd Russ, R-Cordell, has filed a bill that would put an end to marriage licenses in the state. Under his plan, a religious official would sign a couple’s marriage certificate, which would then be filed with the court clerk.

Marriage licenses would become a thing of the past in Oklahoma under a bill filed by state Rep. Todd Russ.

The Cordell Republican says he wants to protect court clerks from having to issue licenses to same-sex couples. He doesn’t want these workers put in the position of having to condone or facilitate same-sex marriage.

Under his plan, a religious official would sign a couple’s marriage certificate, which would then be filed with the clerk. Marriages would no longer be performed by judges. If a couple did not have a religious official to preside over their wedding, they could file an affidavit of common law marriage.

“Marriages are not supposed to be a government thing anyway,” he said Wednesday.

Russ, a credentialed Assemblies of God minister, is upset with rulings that have supported same-sex marriage.

“There’s a lot of constituents and people across the state who are not through pushing back on the federal government for the slam down they’ve given us with Supreme Court rulings,” he said.

Same-sex marriage became legal in Oklahoma in October. That’s when the high court declined to review a federal court decision striking down a voter-approved ban on the practice....

This litany of abuse against states by these federal judges strongly shows a need for reform. The constitution requires a supreme court, but all other courts are created at the discretion of congress.

And congress has been remiss in tidying up the federal judiciary.

A lot of sitting federal judges should be retired, though they likely cannot be fired, so will continue to get a paycheck until they peg out. But at least they will no longer infest the bench.

So fair warning to the SCOTUS. They had better issue a strong ruling soon that puts the rest of the judiciary in its proper place, or it will be done for them.

Sigh. Black robed tyrants can usurp the will of the people and make it legal, but they can’t make it right.
