We lose this battle everytime. Until some others join in and tell the SC where to stick it, why should we bother?
I wish ISIS would put out a video stating they will attack us because we allow gay marriage.
I hope President Cruz appoints Roy Moore to the USSC!
Why are states so afraid to break the law when obummer and jarrett do it ten times a day?
screw the feds and their laws.
I almost thought this was a republic for a minute.
Another issue as that at least some states that voted against gay marriage might be for with the HUGE amount of propaganda thrown their way. I’ve seen the attitude change in teens around here.
I tell them about the VD crisis. the suicide rate. many were abused as a child. etc.
Thank you very much!
The supreme Court didn't "legalize" anything. They can't. Courts are not given the power to make laws. That power is reserved only to the legislative branch, and even then, those laws must conform to the laws of nature and nature's God and to the Constitution.
I wish people on "our side" would get their language right. They give away the whole battle when they use words that grant total power to the tyrants in black robes.
How will we ever win when people like Franklin Graham can't even get it right?
"You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy...The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal..."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820
"I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government...At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
-- Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861
Why do we fight? Because its the right thing to do.

Silence is compliance.
Key phrase:
“When the Supreme Court decision was announced in June...”
The decision is an opinion, not a legally binding dictate. The court cannot write law. Only the legislature can write law. If the legislature agrees that a judicial opinion is sound, then the legislature must pass a law to give that opinion the force of law.
It’s really that simple.
Love me some Roy Moore, now if he can just keep his wild stupid son on a leash so that he does the cause no more harm.
“We lose this battle everytime. Until some others join in and tell the SC where to stick it, why should we bother?”
Exactly, modern history is such that AL standing up to the Federal government is not going to fly. In fact it hurts the case. Such is being on the morally and historically wrong side of civil rights in such a visible way as standing in the door of UAL trying to fight a federal order.
Moore is either a fool not to recognize that or a demagogue who does not care about the cause but only was trying to push his political career by pulling the stunt he did. Moore is probably the single last person I would ever pull the lever for. Heck I might vote for Obama for an office over Moore.
We cab talk about it, But the SC loves to send in the troops when they think they are being defied.
Yes. Still there are smart ways to fight, and less smart ways. There are effective ways to fight and some not so much
Until America, all America, treats the Supreme Court with the Supreme Contempt that it deserves, we will get nowhere.
SCOTUS doesn’t have the power to “send in troops”.
No? But the President does. And do you think for a second that he wouldn’t?
