Wrong. Roberts would have joined the other side. It would have been the same result.
The result was pre-determined before the case came to the court. Roberts joined the dissent because Kennedy gave him cover.
Can’t tell you how many times I think of that quote these days.
It will have to be more and more people’s motto with regard to the court.
It’s quite possible to be determined and motivated.. and calm. Don’t let those of the darkside see the anger until we WANT them to see it.
We have been that. It hasn't worked.
Don’t let those of the darkside see the anger until we WANT them to see it.
What better time than now for them to see our anger?
“On the evening news yesterday, it showed gays and lesbians
streaming in to get their license in my small Tx city.
Made me ill.”
Yep... same here.
I guess they didn’t get the memo from Abbott or......
Yeah..sickening
“Texas has gay marriage and the governor is telling state employees to follow the First Amendment and the court. Gay people were getting married in Texas yesterday.”
That’s very disappointing. His statement indicated otherwise.
Nice to speak with you, Marcella ~ Understood ... We are ripe in the hands of a fascist takeover, there leaves little doubt now. I am in Iowa, and although 1/2 red & 1/2 blue, Iowa will fold like an accordion if push comes to shove.
Some reactive steps I took yesterday after hours of gut and hand wrenching ... Made a contribution to FR .... Joined several great Christian groups on FB ... Unfriended all businesses and friends that celebrated the ruling, and purchased An Appeal to Heaven flag for display. Next on the agenda, a contribution to Ted Cruz. I closed with a prayer thanking God for Texas :)
Although the circle of my world is extremely small, I was able to catch a few hours sleep after executing these minute, but somewhat healing actions ~
Take care
So what he’s saying is no clerk can be fired for not issuing a gay marriage license. County clerks do that and Abbott has no control over them. But I guess he’s letting their bosses know that they better not punish the clerks who refuse to issue a license to a gay couple.
Abbott would make me feel a lot better if he’d simply say “Texas will debate seceding from this godless union.” In fact, that’s what he should say.
People all over the country had those lights ready to shine win or lose. If they lost they would have lit them up in protest.
Buuuuump!
That is historically true. A pledge faithfulness between a man and a woman in a church (or or otherwise before God) constituted holy matrimony. IMHO a pledge of fidelity before God today remains a more holy form of matrimony than a state issued permit to call yourselves married.
Come join us, we still have a bit of room.
Well from what I have heard our State AG issued a “request”, an instruction that all County Clerks wait for him to issue instructions on how to implement this opinion/ruling...
From what I understand there has to be a rewriting of the marriage licenses to reflect a non-gender theme...The approve them, print and distribute them out to the 250+ counties here in this state...
Once that is accomplished, with any other issues that have to be ironed out, the process can proceed forward in an orderly manner...
Instead, the County Clerks from Dallas and Harris Counties went and started issuing licenses right away, either under pressure, or willingly...I am sure Stan Stanart from Harris County did not do so willingly, I cannot speak to the Clerk in Dallas County...
From what I recall, and understand, even the 72 hour cooling off period mandated upon the issuance of these licenses was waived...So the “couples” went right outside to a J.P. and got hitched...
And the parties and parades started this weekend...The traffic into Houston was snarled up with these impromptu gatherings, and I am sure the permitting process was overlooked as well...
So all these special conditions were waived, in the interests of paving the way for the sodomites to gather and celebrate their Federally issued government legitimacy, mind you not the states that oppose the idea and have passed state laws to oppose this activity...
So, once again state’s rights are trumped by the Feds...
What do you/we do about it???
There is probably a lot more to all of this, but this is my initial read on it...
We had that with JFK and Clinton. Today the WH looks like a San Fran bath house.
“The latest evil to be said by Obama is what he told an official in South Carolina yesterday - he plans to bring about, by law or executive order, however he can do it, a list of all members of organizations he considers to be hate groups. That report said all people should know who lives next to them in case that neighbor is on the list of a hate group. This is another evil intention by Obama to carry out.”
And then we get put in concentration camps.
I’m so glad I moved. Almost all my neighbors, except the liberal Yankee that moved here, will be members of a hate group.
