Did you happen to ask these FB SCOTUS decision gushers where in the Holy Bible same-sex, homo marriage is approved of? (Since they used the Bible graphic in their *support*.)
Well, The Donald did say they (Mexico) are not sending us the best :-/
If the GOP makes this election about gay marriage, the democrats will when in a landslide and probably take back the senate.
The nation has truly big issues to worry about i.e. national defense, Iran and nukes, China gobbling up japanese and korean possessions, Russia trying to restart the cold war and general economic policy.
What is the old saying, cut off your nose to spite your face?
I like Jindal. He’s on my list of nominees I’d be cool with.
You're just gonna have to wait for the divine SCOTUS to issue a fiat on those issues.
The only way gay rights issues or Obamacare have ever been allowed to continue is through the corrupted judicial system. Look at the history. I don’t remember the details; but there was a case in Tarrant County, TX that started the path for gays years ago. It was trickery at its best. Of course, we all know how Roberts rewrote Obamacare.
That would require an amendment to the USC.
If we’re going to amend the Constitution, we may as well spell out exactly what we want.
Not that it is a bad idea, but if we go that route, there is an even simpler route: Congress has the power to create and close any courts it wants and to spell out very specifically what kinds of cases the courts can and cannot take. If we had a contitutionalist congress, they could end this crap quickly. This is the remedy Phyllis Schlafly spelled out in The Supremacists.
Bork’s remedy was to implement “legislative loopback.” This would create a provision such that, whenever the USSC ruled on a case that would set precedent (esp. that which could “legislate from the bench”), the Congress had a time period during which they could draft and pass a law rectifying the USSC’s decision so that the will of the people could be represented by their representatives and not be “ruled over” by a handful of black-robed tyrants.
