Obama says Supreme Court same-sex marriage ruling is justice 'with a thunderbolt'
Market Watch ^ | 06/26/15 | Market Watch Staff

President Barack Obama on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court decision to give same-sex couples the right to marry. In a speech in the Rose Garden, Obama called the ruling justice "with a thunderbolt." The president acknowledged that many Americans have religious objections to the high-court decision. "Today should also give us hope that the many issues we grapple, often painfully, real change is possible," he said. The president said the ruling was the result of small acts of courage by ordinary Americans that made the country realize that "love is love."

You’d been talking about fire... I’m not clear on where hail fits here, unless it was brimstone hail.

Well no, it was not driven from the law side here. It was driven from the vice side. They covet the fame, the name, and then not even (mostly) to use them, but just that they sit there as a symbol.

Justice with a thunderbolt...?

When the Supreme Judge of the Universe sends the thunderbolt rest assured it wont be in favor of pervert marriage but in justice of its abomination. Be very afraid of Him...

Well, well, well. So the commie atheist Obama
has a god after all. He fancies himself the bringer
of thunderbolt justice on the God of the Bible,
who brought justice to Sodom and Gomorrah out
of heaven.

Puny Obama, the Pharaoh.

Romans 9
For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

Exodus 9:23-25 says that God sent thunder and hail, as well as fire mingled with hail.

1 Samuel 7:10 shows the fire/thunder connotation in a different way, such as when Samuel was offering a burnt sacrifice, God “thundered” upon the Philistines when they were ready to attack.

Dear Emperor Zero,

Sex between two men is the same as sex between a man and a dog. There is no love. There is no sex. Only perveted lust. A sickness.

Oh there has been a lot more than just trumpets blowing my friend. And I do not mean that in a sexual way.

‘with a thunderbolt’

Yes, it sounds like something that a false deity like Thor would come up with. Not the God of the Bible!

Here’s a portion of Wikipedia’s entry for “civil union”

Many supporters of same-sex marriage state that the word ‘marriage’ matters and that the term ‘civil union’ (and its equivalents) do not convey the emotional meaning or bring the respect that comes with marriage. Former US Solicitor General and attorney in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger case Theodore Olsen said that recognising same-sex couples under the term ‘domestic partnership’ stigmatizes gay people’s relationships treating them as if they were “something akin to a commercial venture, not a loving union”.

So thinking back to an earlier post, yes, the controversy is about a “word”. Gay couples, so that they can command more respect, want to be called “married”.

My God, is the Supreme Court supposed to rule on the question of what a pair of gays is called?
