< What gives this one person this much authority to make this determination?

They are gay, rich, and know "someone" who likes lots of money?

Todd Hembree, the Attorney General who overturned the gay marriage ban so the native Indians can keep their wigs wam and bump their teepees. I'd say, by the looks of him, that he had a personal bias on the issue before working the case. I'll let you decide:

> Obama has opened PANDORA’S BOX with all this GAY and Pervert CRAP!

Actually he has opened all that and more which is the reason I know, through discernment, that he is acting on orders from someone directly connected with the killer, stealer, and destroyer.

Do those Indian tribes do anything to help themselves? It seems like everything they do brings their culture down even further. Drugs, alcohol, same-sex “marriage”, the fight against the pipeline when they could probably get jobs with the pipeline companies, the list goes on and on. When are they going to wise up?

This is a story about one of my best friends while growing up in Michigan. A few years back his younger brother was celebrated here for being a partner in the first same sex marriage which occurred on a northern Michigan Indian reservation. Evidently his partner was a member of that tribe.

Unfortunately for my friend, all the news stories about this event gave his name instead of the brother's..........LOL! I know my first reaction when I read that was WTF?????

The New World would have continued to be a third world country if only Pocahontas had been allowed to marry a squaw.
