Court enjoins enforcement of Prop 8... Will be released at 2 pm pt...
Judge strikes down 'Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California'..
It’s called Judge shopping, the left does it all the time. The right needs to start using this tactic.
The Colorado law did not interfere with gay “rights” I was here at the time. It merely prevented assigning gays protected class status.
I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about that.
Meanwhile freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble, freedom to own a gun... ect.. are all infringed upon to the point that they don't even exist practically.
So to sum things up.. liberals rights are absolute, conservative right are subject to restriction, got it.
>>You avoid California because of a judges ruling? The people of California voted for Prop.8.
A judge just overruled the will of the people. Get your facts straight before you go running off at the mouth.<<
Oh, the irony. I’ve BEEN avoiding it for five years.
Of course it didn’t. There’s no such thing as gay rights.
Map = Locus of girlie men?

That's because it's not a fundamental right anymore than abortion is.
I am also finding that the majority rule in our country, as with some states, is being steadily overridden by minority rule.
That's because liberals believe that our laws exist to protect minorities from the majority.
We have a winner!
I am still going by the Claire Wolfe benchmark for “here we go” time.
I want to put up a ballot proposition to abolish the court.
I would alter that statement to read that liberals believe that our laws exist to impose the will of minorities on the majority.
corporations do not produce future citizens.
corporations do not give birth.
This is not about ownership or property.
This is about society continuing society and society rewards the institution not the individual
corporations are about individual reward.
even a childless couple proves the model. "
Talk about your red herrings.
Where in the Constitution does it mention anything about givng perks to promote births?
Where in the Constitution does it mention anything about giving perks to promote, intelligence, education, hard work, physical fitness, or leadership etcetera? The Constitution limits government -it does not define society -DUH...
--paraphrased from a post I made on a similar thread:
The issue regarding marriage is about marriage that is accommodated and granted privilege by society. Society like an economic free market chose to value heterosexual marriage as something that contributes to society. The laws as evidenced in common law determined what exactly was valued. Those that reject this fact and history seem to reject the free market idea of value and suggest there is government mandated value?
Why should those that are predisposed to an unhealthy sexual disorder be granted benefit and privilege -because they get a government certificate that society rejects?
Such marriage innovations are the realm of progressives -those lost in progressive ideas that fly in the face of reality. The "enlightened" viewpoint is severely flawed by the FACTS... If homosexual marriage is so valuable to society THEN where has it been up until now?
Do we discuss the rights of individuals or do we discuss the promotion of a sexual preference here? What about marriage for those that are into sheep?
CA can decide to nullify the rogue federal courts for wresting the Constitution (the Constitution does not demand allowing same sex marriages) and/or take it to the Supreme Court.
How about not allowing the voters of Massachusetts to vote on the gay marriage/civil unions issue? How is THAT, also, not unconstitutional?
CA has the choice of nullifying what it may consider to be an invalid, wholly unconstitutional decision by a rouge court of a rogue federal government.
>> Someone please tell me again why I should take the time to vote?
To record how the will of the people was continuously ‘overruled’.
We communicate with our vote, and it is essential we never stop.
Of course, you already know that.
The state of CA has the option of not recognizing its law being overturned by a rogue federal government.
