Let's bring this issue and the 2nd amendment to a head. As our brethren in Oregon are doing re: government land grabs....we must stick together. Well stated. The timing seems to suck, but we don't always get to pick the circumstances or the time - sometimes our only choice is to fight or submit. And sometimes, in foresight, the timing was perfect - it just didn't seem like it at the time. And those times are when we need faith in the Almighty.

This is something that struck me with the case in Kentucky. If the supreme court issues an edict, its not some clerk’s job to manufacturer a new law...so why shouldn’t she follow the existing law? People seem all to willing to let the supremes legislate.

May our next President appoint a judge such as this to the Supreme Court.

How Congress Dealt With The Polygamy Issue I'm not seeing how this contradicts what I said.

Congress passed anti bigamy laws. Read my link. They didn't have the ACLU and Liberal judges telling them they couldn't.

No State has to issue homo licences. A SCOTUS ruling is ONLY an “opinion”. It is NOT law. The legislative branch has to make it law and the executive branch has to sign it into law. Congress makes laws. Courts render opinions. Opinions areâ¦wellâ¦opinions. Judges give their opinions of what they think the law says. A COURT DECISION IS NOT A LAW!! Do you understand that? Roe v Wade is NOT the law of the land. Roe v Wade was an OPINION handed down by judges. Judges and courts do not make laws, but rather merely render opinions. Opinions can change when judges change. The law cannot be changed by a âjudge.â If that were the case, our âlawsâ would be as constantly changing as the âjudgesâ are.
If âjudgesâ ruled that sodomy was illegal in 1986, how did sodomy become âlegalâ today? Did the law change, or did the âopinionsâ of the âjudgesâ change?

Marriage has always been a state issue, never a federal one. I’d like to see this work its way through the courts to decide that once and for all. And if at the end the Supreme Court rules against Alabama then the states should drop the whole marriage license thing altogether and let the feds issue them.
To: Cboldt
Thatâs why SCOTUS recast the issue as one of individual rights protected by the 14th amendment. It gets around the âmarriage isnât an enumerated federal powerâ issue. Marriage before God can only be recognized as such when it occurs between a natural man and woman, per commandment of Almighty God. This makes any ruling by the SCOTUS concerning such a Divine matter, well outside its earthly jurisdiction. Our wrongheaded government's glorification of what the Almighty considers an abomination threatens America's very survival.

WND also reported just weeks ago when dozens of top legal scholars from the likes of ... Kansas State
Given that Kansas State doesn't have a law school, I'm pretty sure there aren't any top legal scholars there.

The Constitution is as elastic as they need it to be. Then you got them emanations from penumbras, if they can't find anything to stretch quite far enough.
