PRECISELY. Kentucky law as it stands now PROHIBITS same-sex marriage.
This judge is the one who should be impeached.
Yes. The judge is the outlaw here. Some people see it, some don't. Someone who doesn't should not be choosing judges.
I like Trump, but he needs to re-think his position on this one. If he does it loudly enough he'll survive this misstep.
“PRECISELY. Kentucky law as it stands now PROHIBITS same-sex marriage.”
Which SCOTUS ruled to be unconstitutional. Which means if Kentucky is still part of the U.S., then it cannot prohibit it (like it or not), not that Kentucky can still keep that until they get around to repealing it.
If that was the case, then Kentucky or any other state, could just opt to never do so. If this was an option then it would have been used sometime in the, oh I dont know, past 240 years.
Can you cite any precedence where a state kept a law on the books that was ruled unconstitutional, and enforced it until their state legislator got around to repealing it? I would love to hear where it has happened and worked.
