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!
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

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.
