Cool! When can I add my partridge, 2 turtle doves, 3 french hens, 4 calling birds, 6 geese, 7 swans, 8 maids, 9 ladies, 10 lords, 11 pipers, and 12 drummers?
Financing deviant behavior... I never thought that I would see the day!

How is it that a court can tell a govt to make a law?
Thank the "court" in ass-hat-chuchetts for that one...
We're too far down the slippery slope. In some cases, we've been able to stop the slide, but conservatives have gained no headway to swinging the pendulum the other direction. This country is doomed.
Since the lawmakers in our government became too spineless to put the judiciary back in it's place, which is to uphold the laws of the nation as they were origionaly written to mean.
This week I am going to San Freakcisco so I can marry my dog. Lots of benefits to be had from the twisted liberals....
Nathan, I thought it was the judiciarys job to determine whether laws passed by legislatures and signed by presidents or governors were within the confines of the constitution. And that is it.
Only if we allow the last saftey valve to be stripped away from "we the people". When the government, and that includes a out of control judiciary, fails to do the will of the people, they need to be removed and tried.
Isn't it time for some legislatures to tell the courts that, well, they're grateful for their opinion, but they'd just as soon set their own legislative agenda, thanks.
There is a way to make a change all across the board, at gov or private level. Not sure I can express it clearly, right now you have governments, companies, universities, etc. that have their 'health' departments which sets up you picking companies, they deal with companies, they set up the type of policies etc. The way to fix it, [and incidentally lower costs because the market will become single consumer oriented instead of group oriented]anyway, I think the way to fix it all, health, retirement and so on is to provide a so-called 'bonus' and let the employees go get their own benefits. It would also cut costs at government level since there would be no need for departments to run benefits. Sort of like in the vein of making SS private. Then the person can do what they like instead of our government supporting benefits for anyone but the person in the job.
The constitution, and it's amendments, must be upheld by the courts. It can't be amended by the courts. it's the duty of those we elect and swear an oath to protect it to ensure the constitution is protected.
The definition of marriage is defined already, if it is not clear enough, then the constitution needs to be amended to make it's origional intent clear.
So true equal protection would be that everyone gets to designate one other person, animal, plant, or inanimate object, or "person in contemplation of law", or anything which in any way could be construed as a person to receive "benefits" -- or NOBODY could.
It used to be, way back there in the Neanderthal times, that people thought that society had an interest in folks having kids, and society and the kids had an interest in the folks who had the kids being one each of either sex and in a relationship that involved something more than estradiol, lust, and convenience.
But now that life is optional and desire is sovreign, things have changed. Civilization and enlightenment are just SEW gold darn wonderful.
boy....you have not been following our great state....NJ...just told the lib/dems in the legislature (we have no republicans) to come up with law as well....
And that is why constitutional amendments must only be considered as a last resort.
We do not want to change our constitution. It is the foundation of our entire nation. Destroy it, and we destroy the nation. We are a constitutional republic, not a democracy.
Our moral compass is also found in our constitution, it's what made this nation great in the first place. We cannot change it, we must not change it, especially for stupid things like deviant behavior. If we allow that, we are doomed.
Yep. The "intent" on which such things were built on was the family, a man, a woman, and their children, not anything else. Not for a pervert satisfying their deviant sexual desires and having society pay for it. They can set up their own deviant sexual service worker association for that, and pay premiums for any desired coverage. They should also have their own medical coverage for industry related disease, pay for by themselves. They do not have any right to my money to pay for repercussions resulting from their choices which defy natures intent and laws.
Yes I do follow N.J. and its very screwed up politics. That particular ruling is one reason I asked the question.
It seems that is precicely what the libs are trying what with pushing the homosexual agenda.
