What about a boy and his dog?
Why yes. And now you can marry the Sheep of your choice, because to prohibit such would of course be a violation of your right to Equal Protection of the Laws.
I'm not sure how the sheep will take all that, but hey...who cares? It's civil rights, right?
I’m going to marry my gun and take it everywhere I go. If I can take my wife to a school or courtroom, I oughta be able to take my gun since I’m married to her.
Only if your partners are all gay.
If you haven't noticed Polygamy has been practiced for a long time, without anyone coming after them. It isn't until the charges of child abuse that action is being taken.
Given what I've read from the opinion so far, if California's majority voters want to allow only man woman marriages then it is up to them to flex their voting muscle to amend their constitution to say so, the judges be damned.
The bottom line is that Californians can choose not to be slaves to their own constitution or the judges who interpret it.
The good guys will file for cert. If at least four want to take on the case, cert will be granted (”rule of four”). I think Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Roberts will want to hear this.
SCOTUS likes taking on cases where the law is in turmoil. This ruling is perfect b/c you have a federal law (DOMA) being overridden by a state law.
“[I have] a problem with homosexual acts, as I would with what I would consider to be acts outside of traditional heterosexual relationships . . . if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.” –Rick Santorum on gay sex, AP interview
The chaining of angels in Sheol below and the nuking of Sodom were warnings and examples to those who would commit the same kind of fornication. Though it is delayed, it is coming to those who do not flee fornication, and every evil work
Jude: verses 6,7
And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;
7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Ecc 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of Adam is fully set in them to do evil.
Moral, religious, traditional, and “culture war” issues aside, can someone point me to a definitive list of the negative repercussions that legalizing gay marriage will have on a fiscal, tax law, and taxpayer-impact level?
Yes and polygmory and group marriage too!
