Does he want to be re-elected?
“Marriage equity”, is such a bogus term.
There is no such thing as ‘marriage equity’, if there were I could marry my brother, or more than one man, or my husband could marry more than one woman, I could marry my first cousin or my dad, or my grandson, or people who are classified as moron or idiot are not permitted to marry..........
I would love to see people who claim Christian also protest the governments definition of divorce, the government has defined that, and it has not worked out well.
NC had a referendum in 2012. They said not just "no.", but "Hell, No!" to gay marriage. Vote margin was about 2-1, if memory serves.
Would be nice to see TWO Republican Senators in from NC starting next year. Assuming that the Republicans a) Call her out on it and b) Don't support Gay Marriage, themselves.
Surprise, Surprise!!!
The Evangelicals should be UP IN ARMS!! And the CATHOLICS....and RELIGIOUS JEWS!!
“After much thought and prayer....”
.
Hmmm. Who did she pray to for advice on the subject of same-sex marriage?
I am actually starting to wonder about this in a larger context. US senators used to be appointed by the states, but the “progressives” said that was undemocratic, so they should be directly elected. And they forced through the 17th Amendment.
And it severely fouled up the balance of federalism in the US, making the central government far more powerful, at the expense of the states and the people.
I say this, because it impresses me that a lot of Democrats in power, as well as a few Republicans, are trying to hint that the Supreme Court should not be making this a *legal* decision, but to change the law with a *popular* decision.
Importantly, federal judges, including the SCOTUS, are all appointed by the president, and confirmed by the senate.
But what if the Democrats want to make *them* all elective offices as well?
It would effectively destroy the constitution. Judicial precedent would go out the window. People like Rahm Emanuel, who knows only corrupt power, would be elected federal judges.
It would be a “progressive” paradise.
“Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n.”

“Will Lindseed be next? “
He will be next at the altar.
That may get her a few votes out of the ‘Research Triangle’, and a few other liberal areas, but in the rest of the state, her ass will get fried over this.
Then again though, 0bama carried the state once, and just barely lost re-election, so its obviously changing(for the worse)....

Thanks for the Senate seat Kay!
God help me. It's this straw man again.
NOBODY is telling anybody anything of the kind.
How can a pandering politician claim to have 'clarity' on an issue when they obviously don't understand it in the first place?
To whom was she praying? The US government?
It is sad to see so many who have been led astray. I have been unfriending on Facebook anyone promoting homosexual marriage among my friend list. So called Christians need to just change the names of their churches to social clubs because they do not seem to be learning much about the Creator of the universe and His tolerance for embracing sin.
These people will never have Holy Matrimony. Instead it is Man’s Matrimony.
